This order will dispose of above mentioned contempt petition as well as 15* other contempt petitions mentioned at the foot note of this order, as identical issue is involved in these petitions and can be disposed of by a common order.
Petitioners in these contempt petitions filed different writ petitions for grant of benefit of promotional increment to them in view of circular dated 23.4.1990 and in terms of decision dated 24.1.2012 in CWP No.10808 of 2007 upheld by the Division Bench of this Court on 3.7.2012 in LPA No.883/2012. Further the matter attained finality with dismissal of SLP No.20468/2012 and others. It was further submitted that the said benefit had already been afforded to similarly situated employees.

Since the necessary relief, even after passing the said order was not granted to petitioners, they filed the present bunch of contempt petitions.

At the time of hearing today, counsel for the parties state that the relief allowed by this Court stands granted to the petitioners in all these contempt petitions, thus rendering them infructuous.
In view of the above, the present bunch of 16 contempt petitions is dismissed as infructuous.
