JUDGMENT Alok Sharma, J. Non-Compliance with the order dated 15.05.2017 in SBCWP No.1832/2017 is alleged in this contempt petition whereby the respondents were directed to pay salary by applying Regulation 13.1 of the University Grants Commission Regulations of 2010 (hereinafter 'the Regulations of 2010') to the petitioners, appointed on contract as Lecturers in the government colleges within a period of four months from the date of receipt of copy of the judgment. 2. Quite evidently as of today i.e. 13.07.2018 more than four months from the order dated 15.05.2017 have long passed. The respondents on a plain reading of the judgment and the admitted fact that the petitioners have not been given the benefit of Regulation 13.1 of the Regulations of 2010, would be in contempt. 3. However they have the indulgence of the order dated 10.07.2018 passed by the Apex Court in Special Leave to Petition (c) No.3272/2018 titled The State of Rajasthan & Others Versus Pankaj Kumar Mishra and other connected matters where even while dismissing the Special Leave to Petition at the instance of the State Government, the Apex Court has granted four months time to make the requisite payments. That period expires on 09.11.2018. 4. Mr.Ashish Sharma appearing for Mr.Rajendra Prasad, AAG, counsel for the respondent submitted that processes are on for making requisite payments and granting benefit to the petitioners as directed by this Court's order dated 15.05.2017. Compliance would now definitely made within four months. 5. Mr.Lokendra Singh Shekhawat, Mr.Gaurav Sharma and Mr.Sunil Kumar Jain appearing for the petitioners submitted that the matter be adjourned for a period of four months as indeed the respondents have time till 9.11.2018 to comply with the Court's order. It was however submitted that the petitioners are presently not even being paid the meagre amount of Rs. 7950/- per month which they were being earlier paid awaiting compliance with the Court's order dated 15.05.2017. 6. Heard. Considered. 7. The facts of the case shock the court conscience. If lecturers even contractual are paid salary of Rs. 7950/- per month it is not difficult to visualize their lack of commitment and teaching standards. That issue has fortunately finally been sorted out by the order of this court on 15.05.2017. Yet the powers that be contested it upto the Apex Court. If lecturers even contractual are paid salary of Rs. 7950/- per month it is not difficult to visualize their lack of commitment and teaching standards. That issue has fortunately finally been sorted out by the order of this court on 15.05.2017. Yet the powers that be contested it upto the Apex Court. The matter now stands finally decided against the respondents to whom the Apex Court under its order dated 10.07.2018 has shown indulgence to comply with the order dated 15.05.2017 within four months. 8.

In view of the categorical statement of Mr.Ashish Sharma, I would dispose of these petitions holding the respondents firm to the statement made by their counsel that compliance with the order dated 15.05.2017 will be made on or before 09.11.2018. 10. Non-Compliance will entail compounded contempt by the respondents for which they will of necessity have to suffer the consequences in law. It is further directed that any due amount towards unpaid current salary otherwise payable to the petitioners be paid to them within a period of 7 days from the receipt of a certified copy of this order. 11. The contempt petition is accordingly disposed of. 12.
