Judgment 1. The Supreme Court also in the case of State of Kerala and others Vs. E.K. Bhaskaran Pillai, 2007(6) SCC 524 , has held that when promotion is not granted due to fault of the Department, an employee is entitled to salary for the intervening period. Similar views have been taken by a Division Bench of this Court, in the case of Brij Mohan Dwivedi Vs. State of MP, 2005(2) MPJR 307, after taking note of the principles laid down by the Supreme court in the cases of Union of India Vs. K.V. Jankiraman, AIR 1991 SC 2010 ; Virendra Kumar, General Manager, Northern Railways, New Delhi Vs. Avinash Chandra Chadha and others 1990 (3) SCC 472 , 1990 (3) SCC 472 ; and, again in the case of State of Haryana and others Vs. O.P. Gupta, 1996 (7) SCC 533 . 2. That being so, non-applicants were not right in denying the benefit of salary to the applicant when this Court had directed to grant promotion with all benefits. 3. However, for the present without initiating any action for contempt against the non-applicants, non-applicants are directed to extend the monetary benefits also to the applicant consequent to his promotion within a period of two months and report compliance to this Court. 4. Application stands disposed of for the present with the aforesaid. Certified copy as per rules.
