Contempt of Court - Direction to consider

POINT
Court direction was to 'consider' employee's representation, which was duly complied with, though the representation was considered on merits. The employee, instead of assailing the representation in a fresh Writ Petition, filing a contempt petition.  - High Court directing that the employee be absorbed in a suitable post - Held, such an order was without jurisdiction and should not have been passed on a contempt petition which itself was not maintainable - High Court cannot give relief on merits especially if the contempt petition itself not maintainable.

PARTIES

CITATION
(2000) 10 SCC 285
