STATE OF ORISSA vs ASWINI KUMAR BALIARSINGH

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's order directing the reinstatement of the respondent as an Assistant Teacher, which was initially set aside by the Inspector of Schools due to lack of requisite qualifications as of 7.6.1994. The Court found that the Inspector was bound to comply with the High Court's earlier order and that the subsequent Government Orders did not absolve him of this duty. The Court emphasized that the Inspector's actions did not constitute contempt of court, as he was following the directives of the State Government, thus affirming the High Court's jurisdiction under the Contempt of Courts Act.
