12. 01.2012 Earlier petitioner had moved this Court for payment of his admitted dues of salary etc. in CWJC No.3514 of 2006. The said writ application was disposed of by order dated 14.06.2006 with certain directions. Since the directions were not complied with, petitioner filed a contempt application in which the Sub-Divisional Education Officer, Lakhisarai produced an order for payment of Rs.2,00,000/- to the petitioner, a copy whereof is Annexure-4 with the writ application. On the production of the said order, the contempt application of the petitioner was disposed of. The grievance of the petitioner is that after the disposal of the contempt application the respondents have not paid 2 the petitioners arrears of salary and other dues. Clearly this is contempt of this Court and the concerned headmaster of the school and other authorities could be hauled up for contempt and punished. But learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the writ application may be disposed of with a direction to the respondent nos.2 and 3 to release the amount in favour of the petitioner within a fixed time. This writ application is accordingly disposed of with a direction to the respondent nos. 2 and 3 to see to it that the amount sanctioned in favour of the petitioner is released to him positively within two months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. In case, this Court subsequently at any stage finds that the orders of this Court have not been complied with without any valid reasons, this Court may take up the matter seriously. Arvind/ ( J.N.
