COCP-186-2022 (O&M) 2.

Vide the said order dated 29.11.2021 the transfer of the petitioners in the writ petitions was stayed. The grievance of the petitioners is that though they have joined their place of work, however, for a period of four months they were not permitted to join their duties and they have not been paid for the same period.

3.

Respondent No.1 is present in Court and states that the matter qua the payment of salary has to be decided by the DPI. It is further stated that the matter has duly been forwarded by respondent No.1 to the DPI hence there is no willful disobedience of the order dated 29.11.2021. 4.

In the present case, only direction passed on 29.11.2021 in CWP-23436-2021 and CWP-23986-2021 was that transfer order of the petitioners was stayed. As of today, the petitioners have been taken back into service, therefore, no further orders are required to be passed in the present case.

5.

Disposed off accordingly. Rule stands discharged. Pending applications, if any, also stand disposed off. 20.08.2025 Yogesh Sharma ( ALKA SARIN ) JUDGE NOTE: Whether speaking/non-speaking: Speaking Whether reportable: YES/NO Yogesh Sharma 2025.08.21 10:33 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this judgment/order.
