12.08.2025

21.08.2025 (Per Hon’ble Mr. S.P. Sharma, J)

1. Taking cue from observations made by a Division Bench of this Court in D.B. Special Appeal (Writ) No.663/2015-State of Rajasthan & Anr. Vs. The Management Committee Sh. Bhagwan Das Todi College & two other connected appeals decided on 06.11.2015, these contempt petitions have been filed in the years 2017, 2018, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 alleging non-compliance of the said judgment. [2025:RJ-JP:31764-DB] (32 of 49) [CCP-1666/2018]

2. The petitioners surprisingly are those who never preferred any petition claiming their rights either before this Court or before the Educational Tribunal which deals with cases relating to teachers working in aided and recognized institutions. Nonetheless, all of them claim their rights to flow from the judgment passed by this Court in the case relating to an appeal preferred by State of Rajasthan and one Managing Committee of Bhagwan Das Todi College, which were decided commonly by order dated 06.11.2015.

3. Before we proceed to examine the present contempt petitions, it would be apposite to notice the orders passed from time to time at the behest of these petitioners and others reflecting the abuse of process of law in Bhagwan Das Todi’s case cited (supra), wherein the Division Bench of this Court made following observations:- “The Special Appeals filed by the State Government are without substance and accordingly dismissed and taking note of the Sec.31(2) of the Act, 1989 we direct the Non-Government Educational Institutions to prepare due drawn statement of each of the employees of their Institution who have worked against sanctioned & aided posts in regard to their arrears of salary and other dues which are approved expenditures to the extent of grant-in-aid and the same be sent to the State Government and the State Government after its due verification from their records will make payment of arrears to each of the employee who either have now become members of Rules, 2010 or have retired or left the job (upto the period one has worked) and to other employees similarly situated under intimation to the concerned Non- Government Recognized Institution. However, it may not remain confined to such of the employees who are covered under the present litigation and since the employees of the State Government and the Non-Government Aided Institution are under litigation at various levels either before the ld.Tribunal or in this Court and after this issue being settled by us, [2025:RJ-JP:31764-DB] (33 of 49) [CCP-1666/2018] we consider it appropriate that let this order be made applicable mutatis mutandis to all such employees who are similarly situated, in the manner as directed by this court and indicated above. The Non-Government Aided Institutions shall ensure compliance of this order within two months and the State Government shall ensure compliance in letter & spirit within two months thereafter by making actual payment to the employee of the Non-Government Aided Institutions. With these directions, all the special appeals stand disposed of, in the above terms. There shall be no order as to costs.”

3.1. The aforesaid judgment was treated by the petitioners to be a verdict allowing them to claim their rights directly by filing representation or legal notice to their respective Managing Committees of the schools where they were working as well as to the State Government through their schools where they have now joined after the Rajasthan Voluntary Rural Education Rules, 2010 (for short ‘the Rules of 2010’) had come into force and thereafter, they filed contempt petitions before the Court directly claiming their rights as if they were the writ-petitioners or direct beneficiaries under the decision given by the Court. None of them mentioned their facts and the exact claim, however, each and everyone vaguely stated of having not received their due amount from the Managing Committee including the arrears of pay under the 5th Pay Commission or the 6th Pay Commission. Their claim was in a generalized fashion.

4. Without going into the aspect regarding maintainability of the contempt petitions, bunch of contempt petitions were filed in the year 2016 before this Court, lead case being D.B. Civil Contempt Petition No.1200/2016- Managing Committee [2025:RJ-JP:31764-DB] (34 of 49) [CCP-1666/2018] Shri Bhagwan Das Todi College, Lachhmangarh, Sikar, Rajasthan Vs. Shri Rajhans Upadhyay Additional Chief Secretary & Anr., wherein Coordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 30.11.2017 noticed as under:- “2. The matter was adjourned from time to time. It seems that there are serious dispute regarding the pay scale and other calculations like increment given to the employees by management and correct data are not supplied to the Government. Therefore, the government is not updated.

3. In that view of the matter, it will be very difficult for us to hold that it is deliberate omission on the part of the respondents which can call for interference under Contempt Of Courts Act.

4. However, looking to the over all circumstances of the case, we are of the considered opinion that the matters are required to be attended by the highest officers of the concern department namely Commissioner College Education, Secretary School Education, Secretary Sanskrit Education, Secretary Technical Education, who will look into the matters.” Division Bench of this Court made following directions:- “5.Therefore, in all these matters, we issue the following directions:-

1. The directions which are issued are required to be complied with by the respondents in its true spirit.

2. All these contempt petitions will be treated as representation to the concerned Secretary. Copy of the same will be given to the concern Secretary by the petitioners and office is directed to give copy of the same to each of counsel who is appearing for the department.

3. Notice will be issued to management by the Secretary for fixing date of hearing which reads as under: Petition No.1200/2016, In Contempt 1639/2016,1640/2016, 1671/2016 & 209/2017 fixed on 18thDecember, 2017 and every five matters everyday thereafter and hearing will be fixed on all working days. [2025:RJ-JP:31764-DB] (35 of 49) [CCP-1666/2018]

4. The matters will be heard within 30 days from the date of hearing and payment will be made within 15 days from the date of the order as stated hereinabove.

5. The officers concern will hear the petitioners as well as officers of the department and representative of Management and will pass a reasoned order for accepting or not accepting the claim of the petitioners.

6. All these formalities will be completed on or before 25 January, 2018 and payment will be made on or before 15th February, 2018.

7. After this order is passed by the authority, if any of the party is aggrieved by the order, it will be open for him to challenge by way of writ or file a contempt proceedings before this Court.

6. One of the grievance which has been made is that the Bank statements are called for. In our considered opinion, instead of Bank statement, if the balance- sheet of the concerned Trust/Management is produced on record, the government will verify record of Trust/Management on the basis of balance-sheet.

7. If the Management is not cooperating, it is presumed that they are not obeying the order of the Court and the government will decide to deduct their contribution towards grant but payment is to be made to the petitioners.”

5. It appears that interregnum the orders passed by this Court in contempt petitions, although there was no order passed by any Court adjudicating the rights of the petitioners, who had filed contempt petitions, the State Government examined the cases of these persons who had come before the Court showing respect to the Court’s order and several of them were given benefits and payments were released after the institutes verified their claim. Second round of contempt petition was again filed by teachers who belong to other set of institutes and colleges. Neither the concerned schools or the colleges were party before the Court in [2025:RJ-JP:31764-DB] (36 of 49) [CCP-1666/2018] Bhagwan Das Todi (supra), nor the facts were available before the Court, but bunch of 268 contempt petitions was decided on

01.12.2021, lead case being D.B. Civil Contempt Petition No.740/2016- Shri Banwari Lal Bhukar & Anr. Vs. Anoop Khinchi, Commissioner, College Education & Ors., wherein the Division Bench of this Court passed following directions:- “Consequently, following directions were issued in that particular case: “We, therefore, reject the submissions advanced on behalf of the State Government and direct that: (a) The admitted amount to which the respondent No.1 herein is entitled to, shall be made over to her by the State Government within eight weeks. (b) The State shall, in accordance with law, be entitled to recover this money from the institution if such, institution had drawn grant in-aid in excess of its entitlement. (c) If any employees of the State had not discharged their duties in checking the affairs of the institution, the State shall also be entitled to proceed against such employees, in a manner known to law. We, therefore, dismiss this Special Leave Petition.” The batch of 268 contempt petitions as well as civil miscellaneous applications in hand before us have been filed by large number of teachers/employees, raising various grievances. In all the cases, the grievance of the teachers/employees has been that the order passed by this Court way back in 2015 directing various benefits to be extended has not been complied with till date. In some cases, the payments, as claimed by the teachers/employees have not been made. In some cases, it is the grievance that nothing has been released so for. Yet in another batch of cases, a grievance has been made out that certain payments which were required to made by the Educational Institutions have not been made. We extensively heard the leading arguments from the side of the contempt petitioners/applicants, learned Additional Advocate General and also Private Non Unaided Institutions. Not only dispute has been adjudicated by this Court, which has attained finality, in various contempt [2025:RJ-JP:31764-DB] (37 of 49) [CCP-1666/2018] petitions where orders have been passed from time to time, supplementary directions have also been issued by this Court. In some cases, where the State had withheld payment raising certain contentions, have ultimately been rejected by the Supreme Court as is clear from order dated 09.09.2021 (supra). At this stage, the State is required to extend the benefits flowing from the orders of this Court and which have remained undecided and not released at the earliest. There is no need for us to keep on issuing directions one after the other, only to remind the State Authorities and the Educational Institutions of their respective exercises required to be undertaken but remained inconclusive since more than five years. It is high time that the payments to the teachers/employees in terms of the orders passed by this court are made at the earliest. Needless to emphasise that after the orders, which have been passed by the Supreme Court on 09.09.2021 in the case of State of Rajasthan Versus Manju Saxena & Ors. (supra), the defence raised in those cases will no longer be available to the State Government and for that reason, no payments can be withheld. Learned counsel for the parties stated before us that the payments which are required to be released in favour of the teachers/employees have to be dealt with department wise as the contempt petitioners/applicants belong to different authorities. These authorities are Commissionerate, College Education; Directorate School Education; Directorate Sanskrit Education; Directorate Technical Education; Directorate Secondary Education; Directorate Agriculture Education; and Directorate Ayurveda Education. Each of the Directorate is now required to proceed to release payments in terms of the directions issued by this Court earlier on 06.11.2015 in D.B. Special Appeal (Writ) No. 663/2015 and connected appeals and clarificatory directions issued subsequently in various contempt petitions, referred to hereinabove, without further loss of time. It shall be an obligation on the part of each of the Directorate, which has been referred to above, to immediately release the dues payable to the teachers/employees as per the directions issued by this Court from time to time and the directions which have already been issued by the Supreme Court on 09.09.2021 in the case of State of Rajasthan Versus Manju Saxena & Ors. (supra) wherein, the Supreme [2025:RJ-JP:31764-DB] (38 of 49) [CCP-1666/2018] Court had directed compliance to be made within a period of eight weeks. A brief, but clear order regarding compliance of each of the contempt petitioners/applicants will have to be passed by the concerned Directorate within a period of The orders in respect of each ten weeks from today. of the contempt petitioners/applicants, which are required to be passed clearly stating compliance of the order, shall be reported directly to the Registry of this Court, which shall be placed before this Court under a separate registered case. With the aforesaid observations and directions, the contempt petitions/civil miscellaneous applications, at this stage are disposed off, however, with liberty to revive, if any individual grievance still remains unredressed. We must make it absolutely clear that if ultimately we find that despite this order, the benefits, which the teachers/employees were entitled to, have not been released, this court may take a very serious view of the matter and erring officials will have to be proceeded against strictly in accordance with law resulting in all serious consequences, which an individual case may deserve. A copy of this order be placed on record of each connected petition/application.”

6. In view of the liberty granted, one of the contempt petitions was revived by the petitioner whereafter, other bunch of contempt petitions was filed and tagged alongwith revived contempt petitions in the years 2017, 2018, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025, claiming same kind of benefits without giving details or the specific claims.

7. In view of the observations made by this Court while deciding contempt petition on 01.12.2021, several Officers were called personally to the Court from time to time.

8. Mr. G.S.Gill, learned Additional Advocate General has invited our attention to the aforesaid facts and submits that there has [2025:RJ-JP:31764-DB] (39 of 49) [CCP-1666/2018] been no adjudication relating to the so-called claims of all the petitioners, nor they have chosen to file any claim petition either before the Educational Tribunal or before this Court. There is no verdict in their favour, but on the basis of earlier contempt petitions having been entertained and directions given in the contempt petitions, while exercising contempt jurisdiction, which is in the nature of writ, petitioners are seeking benefits which may not be available to them. He has raised question of jurisdiction of passing the orders in contempt petitions which is in the nature of directions and submits that adequate opportunity to contest the case is not available in contempt proceedings, as the contempt proceedings are in the nature of execution. In order to maintain a contempt proceeding, one must be able to bring before the Court a deliberate and willful disobedience having been committed of an order passed in favour of any individual. By way of contempt petitions, claims cannot be settled and left open to the State Government authorities in turn to decide.

9. Learned counsels who are appearing on behalf of the petitioners in the respective cases have however, submitted that once there are directions issued in contempt proceedings, the same are binding and are required to be complied with. It is also further submitted by the learned Counsels that the judgment passed in the case Bhagwan Das Todi (supra) was a judgment in rem and would, therefore, be applicable to the petitioners and they were not required to file writ petition or the appeal before the Educational Tribunal for adjudication of claim and it was the duty of the State to examine and pass orders with regard to the [2025:RJ-JP:31764-DB] (40 of 49) [CCP-1666/2018] petitioners. In support of their submissions, learned counsels have also relied on the judgments passed by the Supreme Court in the cases of State of Uttar Pradesh and Others Vs. Arvind Kumar Srivastava and Others, (2015) 1 SCC 347 and Girish Mittal Vs. Parvati V. Sundaram & Anr., (2019) 20 SCC 747.

10. Learned counsels have also submitted that earlier one set of contempt petition was decided and order was passed on

09.04.2019 by this Court initiating contempt proceedings. Against the said order dated 09.04.2019, State Government preferred Special Leave to Appeal (C) No.13791/2019-State of Rajasthan Vs. Manju Saxena & Ors. and the Supreme Court dismissed the SLP vide order dated 09.09.2021 issuing directions which were also required to be followed in the cases of the present petitioners.

11. We have considered the submissions.

12. We are reminded of the judgment passed by the Supreme Court in the case of J.S. Parihar Vs. Ganpat Duggar and Others-(1996) 6 SCC 291, wherein three Judges bench of the Supreme Court has observed as under:- “6. The question then is whether the Division Bench) was right in setting aside the direction issued by the learned single Judge to redraw the seniority list. It is contended by Mr. S.K. Jain, learned counsel appearing for the appellant, that unless the learned Judge goes into the correctness of the decision taken by the Government in preparation of the seniority list in the light of the law laid down by three Benches, the learned Judge cannot come to a conclusion whether or not the respondent had wilfully or deliberately disobeyed the orders of the Court as defined under Section 2(b) of the Act. Therefore, the learned single Judge of the High Court necessarily has to go into the merits of that question. We do not find that the contention is well founded. It is seen that, admittedly, the respondents [2025:RJ-JP:31764-DB] (41 of 49) [CCP-1666/2018] had prepared the seniority list on 2.7.1991 Subsequently promotions came to be made. The question is whether seniority list is open to review in the contempt proceedings to find out, whether it is in conformity with the directions issued by the earlier Benches. It is seen that once there is an order passed by the Government on the basis of the directions issued by the Court, there arises a fresh cause of action to seek redressal in an appropriate forum. The preparation of the seniority list may be wrong or may be right or may or may not be in conformity with the directions. But that would be a fresh cause of action for the aggrieved party to avail of the opportunity of judicial review. But that cannot be considered to be the wilful violation of the order. After re-exercising the judicial review in contempt proceedings, afresh direction by the learned single Judge cannot be given to redraw the seniority list. In other words, the learned Judge was exercising the jurisdiction to consider the matter on merits in the contempt proceedings. It would not be permissible under Section 12 of the Act. Therefore, the Division Bench has exercised the power under Section 18 of the Rajasthan High Court Ordinance being a judgment or order of the single Judge; the Division Bench corrected the mistake committed by the learned single Judge. Therefore, it may not be necessary for the State to file an appeal in this Court against the judgment of the learned single Judge when the matter was already seized of the Division Bench.

7. The appeals are accordingly dismissed. It may be open to the aggrieved party to assail the correctness of the seniority list prepared by the State Government, if it is not in comformity with the directions issued by the High Court, if they so advised, in an appropriate forum. No costs.”

12.1.The view taken by the Supreme Court in J.S.Parihar (supra) has been reiterated in Snehasis Giri Vs. Subhasis Mitra- (2023) 18 SCC 529. In Snehasis Giri (supra), it was held that in contempt proceedings of almost like persons, interim orders were passed on the basis that benefits were not confined and relief not granted only to the parties to the litigation but that the directions had the effect of in rem adjudication. The Court, therefore, directed the respondent contemnors to verify from the [2025:RJ-JP:31764-DB] (42 of 49) [CCP-1666/2018] record with respect to entitlement of all the contempt petitioners but urged that there are express directions of this Court to release salaries of the contempt petitioners without insisting on verifying genuineness of their claims. Considering all the aspects, Hon'ble the Supreme Court has held as under:- “10. Furthermore, there is merit in the respondents’ submission that the court, in contempt proceeding cannot enlarge its scope and examine matters which are not part of its remit, i.e. extent of the direction or orders contained in the judgement of which contempt is being alleged. In fact, in the decision in Sudhir Vasudeva (supra), it was held as follows: “19. The power vested in the High Courts as well as this Court to punish for contempt is a special and rare power available both under the Constitution as well as the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971. It is a drastic power which, if misdirected, could even curb the liberty of the individual charged with commission of contempt. The very nature of the power casts a sacred duty in the Courts to exercise the same with the greatest of care and caution. This is also necessary as, more often than not, adjudication of a contempt plea involves a process of self- determination of the sweep, meaning and effect of the order in respect of which disobedience is alleged. The Courts must not, therefore, travel beyond the four corners of the order which is alleged to have been flouted or enter into questions that have not been dealt with or decided in the judgment or the order violation of which is alleged. Only such directions which are explicit in a judgment or order or are plainly self-evident ought to be taken into account for the purpose of consideration as to whether there has been any disobedience or wilful violation of the same. Decided issues cannot be reopened; nor can the plea of equities be considered. The Courts must also ensure that while considering a contempt plea the power available to the Court in other corrective jurisdictions like review or appeal is not trenched upon. No order or direction supplemental to what has been already expressed should be issued by the Court while exercising jurisdiction in the domain of the contempt law; such an exercise is more appropriate in other jurisdictions vested in the Court, as noticed above. The above principles would appear to be the cumulative outcome of the precedents cited at the Bar, namely, Jhareswar Prasad Paul v. Tarak Nath Ganguly[(2002) [2025:RJ-JP:31764-DB] (43 of 49) [CCP-1666/2018]
