ORDER

1. The contempt petition has been instituted for alleged non-compliance with the order of this Court dated 17 August 2018.

2. The order of this Court, insofar as is material, reads as follows:

“Having heard Mr. Haresh Raichura, learned counsel for the appellants and Mr.P.S. Patwalia, learned senior counsel for the respondents, we are only inclined to modify the order of the High Court to the extent that the appellants shall be entitled to get retiral benefits after superannuation. If any one of the appellants was superannuated, he shall also get the same benefit. When we say ‘same benefit’, it means that the retiral benefits which were given to the other employees of the respondents shall also be extended to the appellants. The said exercise shall be completed within twelve weeks hence.

The appeal is allowed to the extent indicated above. There shall be no order as to costs.” (Emphasis supplied)

3. Upon notice being issued, a counter affidavit and a rejoinder affidavit have been filed. The contention of the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the applicants is that by the above order of this Court, the respondents were ordered to give retiral benefits to the applicants at par
