Therefore, no further notice is required to be issued to the Respondents. 2. When the matter was taken up on 07.04.2025, this Court passed the following order: “3. Ms.Dhanaseeli, learned counsel for the Petitioner, submits that the Petitioner's approval for appointment to the post of Secondary Grade Teacher, has been rejected by the District Educational Officer vide order dated 20.04.2018. Being no alternative, the Petitioner filed a Writ Petition in W.P.(MD)No.10196 of 2018, seeking to quash the order dated 20.04.2018, whereby the Respondents rejected the Petitioner's appointment and seeking direction against the Respondents to approve his appointment as a Secondary Grade Teacher in the Respondent Institution with effect from the date of his joining, i.e., 02.07.2012, with all service and monetary benefits. The learned Single Judge of this Court vide order dated 28.04.2018 allowed the aforementioned Writ Petition. For better appreciation, the relevant portion of the order is reproduced below: “9. It has been categorically held in the decision reported in (2016) 4 L.W. 841 – The Secretary to Government, Government of Tamil Nadu and Others Vs. S.Jeyalakshmi and another) that teachers for minority institutions need not have the qualification of TET. Since the said reasoning once again has been given by the respondents in the impugned order, in the opinion of this Court, the same is untenable and therefore, the same is liable to be interfered with. 10.Accordingly, the impugned order is quashed and the respondents are directed to approve the appointment of the petitioner from the date of his original appointment and on making such approval, it is needless to mention that the petitioner shall be entitled to claim salary from his original appointment. 11.With this direction, this writ petition is allowed. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed.” 4. The learned counsel for the petitioner further submits that when the judgment and order passed by this Court dated 28.04.2018 in W.P.(MD)No.10196 of 2018 was not complied with, and in the absence of an alternative remedy, the Petitioner filed a Contempt Petition (MD)No.1596 of 2018 and the co-ordinate bench of this Court, vide order dated 01.04.2022, closed the Contempt Petition with the following observations: “8. It is an admitted fact that the petitioner is working in the institution. It is an admitted fact that the petitioner is working in the institution. Therefore, this Court is of the considered opinion that the management ought to pay salary on par with other Teachers. Therefore, the management is directed to pay the salary to the petitioner on par with other teachers. The approval of appointment shall be considered after the disposal of the SLP, until then, the management is responsible to pay the salary. After the disposal of the two SLPs, the contemnors shall consider the present issue and shall pass orders as per the orders passed in the said two SLPs. The respondents have preferred a SLP against the Writ Appeal in Diary No.1409 of 2022 in the present case. Therefore, the respondents are directed to consider the issue after the disposal of the said SLP. Therefore, there is no deliberate disobedience. The petitioner is at liberty to reopen the Contempt Petition after the disposal of SLP. 9.Hence, the Contempt Petition is closed. No costs” 5.

Despite the dismissal of the SLP over two months ago, the Respondents have failed to comply with the judgment and order dated 28.04.2018 passed by the Writ Court in W.P.(MD)No.10196 of 2018. This deliberate and wilful non-compliance constitutes contempt of this Court. Thus, the learned counsel submits that the Respondents are in contempt.
