This contempt petition is filed under Article 215

of the Constitution of India and Sections 11 and 12 of

the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971 complaining

disobedience of the interim order of this Court dated

19.07.2021 passed in W.P.No.102/2020, wherein this

Court has passed the following order:

"Heard the learned Government Advocate for

the petitioner on the question of grant of

interim relief.

The facts of the case reveal that the

respondents before this Court have challenged

the constitutional validity of Rules 1(ii), 3, 6

and 7 in annexure 1 of the Karnataka

Educational

Institutions

(Recruitment

and

Terms

and

Conditions

of

Services

of

Employees in Private Aided Primary and

Secondary Educational Institutions) Rules,

1999

as

amended

by

the

(Recruitment

and

terms and Conditions (Amendment) Rules,

2008 (vide Annexure-D). The learned Single

- 5 -

Judge has allowed the writ petition and has

directed the State Government to grant

approval in the matter of appointment within

three months.

Learned counsel for the respondents has

argued before this court that the learned

Single Judge was justified in allowing the writ

petition

keeping

in

view

the

judgment

delivered by the Hon'ble Apex Court in the

case of TMA Pai foundation v. State of

Karnataka, reported in (2002) 8 SCC 481. He

has also brought to the notice of this Court

that the subsequent judgment delivered by

the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of

Sindhi Education Society v. Chief Secretary,

Government of NCT Delhi, reported in (2010)

8 SCC 49.

The matter requires a detailed hearing.

Therefore, as it is a fit case for admission, the

appeal is admitted for final hearing. However,

in the meanwhile, the respondent - State

shall accord approval in respect of the

appointment in question as on account of non

approval, the teachers have not been paid

- 6 -

salary. The issue is only in respect of Science,

Physical

Education

and

Hindi

and

the

academic session is going on.

Resultantly, the approval granted by the

State Government as ordered by the learned

Single Judge shall be subject to the outcome

of the result in the present writ appeal.

The interim order passed by this Court is

confined

to

the

peculiar

facts

and

circumstances of the case.

The appeal is admitted for final hearing as

stated earlier. List the appeal for hearing in

due course.

As the cross objection has already been

filed, the State shall also be free to file reply

to it within in six weeks."
