Manoj Kumar Tiwari, J

1.

This contempt petition was filed alleging wilful disobedience of the final order dated 28.03.2017 passed by Writ Court in WPSS No. 93 of 2016. By

the said order, writ petition filed by the petitioner, challenging his termination from service, was allowed and the termination order was set aside and

respondents were directed to reinstate the petitioner in service with all consequential benefits.

2.

Mr. J.S. Bisht, learned Standing Counsel for the opposite party has apprised the Court that against the said judgment, Director, Primary Education

had filed SPA No. 386 of 2017, which was disposed of vide order dated 13.05.2019 in terms of the common judgment rendered in SPA No. 384 of

2017 and SPA No. 385 of 2017.

3.

In SPA No. 384 of 2017 and SPA No. 385 of 2017, Division Bench of this Court had set aside the order passed by Writ Court and remanded the

matter to writ court for decision afresh.

4.

Learned Standing Counsel further submits that after remand of the matter by the Division Bench, writ petition filed by the petitioner was disposed

of in terms of the judgment dated 13.02.2019 rendered in SPA No. 543 of 2017. He further submits that in terms of the judgment rendered by learned

Single Judge, petitioner’s services have been terminated after holding regular disciplinary enquiry.

5.

Since regular disciplinary proceedings were held against the petitioner in terms of judgment rendered by Writ Court, before terminating his services,

therefore, nothing survives in this contempt petition.

6.

In such view of the matter, contempt petition is closed. Notices issued to the opposite parties are hereby discharged. This, however, will not

preclude the petitioner from approaching the appropriate forum against the termination order.
