Order 30/07/2025
1. Petitioners are alleging contempt of order dated 19th July
2024. The operative part of this order reads as under:
[2025:RJ-JP:28920-DB] (2 of 2) [CCP-713/2025]
“Taking into consideration the submission of
learned counsel for the appellants that on 04.07.2024, a Division Bench of this Court at Principal Seat at Jodhpur has passed an interim
order, we are inclined to pass similar order to the effect that the pendency of these appeals shall not come in the way of the appellants’ entitlement to seek confirmation upon successful completion of the probation period and all other service benefits, to which they are entitled.”
2. It is petitioners’ case that respondents have not confirmed petitioners in their respective posts or extended any consequential service benefits and hence, respondents are in contempt of order dated 19th July 2024.
3. We are afraid, we cannot agree with petitioners because the
order only says that “…….. pendency of these appeals shall not come in the way of the appellants’ entitlement to seek confirmation upon successful completion of the probation period and all other service benefits, to which they are entitled”. It only enables petitioners to seek confirmation and there is no direction to respondents to confirm. Therefore, respondents cannot be stated to be in willful disobedience of order passed by this Court.
4. Nevertheless, we direct respondents to consider the representation made by petitioners seeking confirmation and dispose the same in accordance with law within a period of six weeks.
5. Petition disposed.
