KANTI SWAROOP SHARMA AND OTHERS Vs. NAVEEN PRAKASH

JUDGEMENT

(1.) Heard Sri Y.S. Bohra, learned counsel for the applicant and Sri B.K. Singh Raghuvanshi, learned counsel appearing for the opposite party.

(2.) This petition in contempt alleges disobedience of a final judgment rendered on 1 October 2012 in a Special Appeal. The issue itself related to a selection process initiated by the BSNL [Corporation] for promotion to the post of Junior Telecom Officer. Although, the applicants did not find success before the learned Single Judge, the Special Appeal was allowed with the following observations:

(3.) From a reading of the judgment rendered in appeal, it is evident that the primary issue, which arose for consideration, was the import of clause 3(iv) of a Circular Letter dated 10 March 2003 and whether the same would have relevance to the selection that was held in the year 1999. The Circular itself provided that the relaxation in respect of aggregate marks would be applied to either of the two examinations namely, that held in the year 1999 or in the year 2000. It is upon an interpretation of this particular clause of the Circular that the Division Bench in the Special Appeal set aside the judgment rendered by the learned Judge and directed the fourth respondent therein to redraw the results of the appellants in light of the observations extracted above.
