From June to October, no salary paid and doctors went on strike after which we filed contempt. Then they paid, Senior Advocate Maninder Singh says.
But the writ petition has already been disposed off, the point is can we take the contempt? Justice Bhushan says
The salary of June to October paid only on October 29, after the contempt petition was filed. Why should we have to come again and again to court for payment of salary? says Singh
We are not inclined to pass order here, you agitate before HC, its pending there, Justice Bhushan
No ground to entertain this petition. Open to the applicants to make such application in the pending writ petition before HC, which we have no doubt will be taken up, Justice Bhushan passes order.
