ORDER
(Order of the Court was made by M.Dhandapani J.) The learned counsel for the contempt petitioner submitted that the contempt petitioner approached the Central Administrative Tribunal seeking extension of the benefit of pay fixation on par with the applicants in O.A.No.2124 of 2011, filed by the All India Postal Employees Association and another. The Tribunal allowed the application by following the orders passed in O.A.No.2124 of 2011 . Challenging the said order, the Union of India and two others filed a writ petition viz., W.P. No.29635 of 2017 before this Court, which was disposed of on 16.07.2018. Alleging non-compliance with the order, the present contempt petition has been filed.
2. We perused the entire records. A perusal of the order dated 17.10.2023, which was passed pursuant to the directions issued by the Tribunal and affirmed by this Court, it is seen that an order had been passed in favour of the contempt petitioner.
