Learned Additional Advocate General has produced instructions dated 02.11.2026 and copy of office order dated 06.10.2026, passed by the Director, Directorate of School Education, Himachal Pradesh, Shimla-171001, which are taken on record.
2. A perusal of the aforesaid office order reveals that the petitioner has been allowed higher pay scale after two years of regular service, subject to final outcome of LPA filed in CWP No.4830 of 2023, titled as Inder Singh and any other legal remedies. The DDO concerned has been directed to fix the pay of the petitioner and release the arrear.

3. This Court while disposing of the writ petition on 06.05.2026 had only directed the competent authority to decide the representation made by the petitioner by passing a speaking order within a period of twelve weeks.
4. Since the Director of School Education, Himachal Pradesh, has now passed the aforesaid office order and the petitioner has been allowed the higher pay scale after completion of two years of regular service, subject to final outcome of LPA, the mandate contained in the judgment has duly been complied with and as such contempt notices issued to the respondents are discharged. However, since the petitioner has been held entitled to the benefits, in case, the arrear on account of allowing higher pay scale is not released in favour of the petitioner within a period of twelve weeks from today, he shall be at liberty to avail an appropriate remedy in accordance with law.
5. The contempt petition is accordingly disposed of. Pending application(s), if any, shall also stand disposed of.
