---- CORAM : G.S. KULKARNI, J.

DATE : 27 September, 2021 P.C.:

1.

This is a petition filed challenging the order dated 15 January 2021 passed by the learned Presiding Officer, School Tribunal, Kolhapur, on a contempt application filed by respondent no.1. 2.

The contempt application was filed by respondent no.1 contending non compliance of the order dated 5 January 2019 passed by the Tribunal to the extent of non payment of emoluments to him for the period 15 February 2019 to 16 April 2019, which were ordered to be paid to respondent no.1 by the Tribunal.

3.

Admittedly, the orders of the tribunal directing reinstatement of respondent no.1 came to be complied by the petitioners as respondent no.1 was reinstated.

Pvr 8wp883-21.odt 4.

In my opinion, the amount directed to be paid by the tribunal is a small amount, which is emolument for a period of two months only. As respondent no.1 was reinstated, no prejudice whatsoever would be caused to the petitioners to make payment of such amount to respondent no.1, this more particularly when the main order of the tribunal on respondent no.1's appeal itself has been implemented. 5.

I thus find no merit in the contention as urged on behalf of the petitioners in this petition that such amount be not paid to respondent No.1 The Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed. No costs. 6.

The amount as directed by the tribunal, be paid within 10 days from today, there shall not be any further extension. In the event, the amount is not paid, the respondent no.1 is permitted to initiate appropriate proceedings.
