Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the Allahabad High Court's order rejecting a contempt petition concerning the alleged violation of a writ order regarding the regularization of the appellant's service as a lecturer. The Court noted that the appellant had been reinstated and was receiving salary, indicating substantial compliance with the writ order. However, the Court recognized ongoing grievances related to regularization and seniority, emphasizing the need for the University to create a post for the appellant as per the State Government's sanction. The appeal was allowed to the extent of addressing these grievances.
