UPON hearing counsel the Court made the following
O R D E R
These petitions are directed against order dated 21.1.2011 passed by the
Division Bench of the Rajasthan High Court whereby the special appeals
filed by the petitioners against the order of the learned Single Judge
in the matter of grant of dearness allowance to the respondents were
dismissed. We have heard learned senior counsel for the petitioners
and perused the record.
Since the petitions filed by the petitioners for review of the order
passed by the Division Bench are pending consideration, these petitions
are disposed of with a request to the Division Bench of the High Court
to make an endeavour to decide the review petitions as early as possible,
but latest within three months from the date of receipt/production of
copy of this order.
We also direct that till the disposal of the review petitions, the
proceedings initiated against the officers of petitioner No.1 under
the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971 shall remain stayed.
