the petitioner, calculate the arrear, submit budget demand of arrear to the office of undersigned and finally release the arrear at the earliest.
3. Since the competent authority had only been directed to decide the representation made by the petitioner within twelve weeks and the competent authority has now passed a detailed order after considering the representation of the petitioner and held him entitled to a higher pay stage of Rs.40,100/-, the mandate contained in the judgment has duly been complied with and as such contempt notice issued to the respondent is discharged. However, since the petitioner has been held entitled to the benefits, in case, the arrears on account of allowing higher pay scale is not released in favour of the petitioner within a period of eight weeks from today, he shall be at liberty to avail an appropriate remedy in accordance with law.
4. The contempt petition is accordingly disposed of. Pending application(s), if any, shall also stand disposed of.
