This Court by an order dated 7.8.2003 in C.W.J.C.No. 878/2000 had passed the following order: “ This writ petition is, therefore, disposed of with a direction that the petitioner may appear before the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation and raise his claim. The Chief Executive Officer will examine the matter and pass an appropriate order on the petitioner’s claim within two months from the date of his appearance before him. Needless to say that if the claim is found true, the Chief Executive Officer shall also take steps for payment of all the retiral and 2 other dues of Aklu without any further delay. It is the case of the petitioner that pursuant to the aforementioned order he had appeared before the Chief Executive Officer on 13.4.2004 but no order was passed on the claim filed by the petitioner. Counsel for Patna Municipal Corporation has, however, filed his show cause enclosing a communication dated 26.4.2004 wherein the petitioner has been directed to produce death certificate of his father, mother, indemnity bond as also succession certificate or list of the family members. Counsel for the petitioner, however, submits that such order dated 26.4.2004 was never communicated to the petitioner and as such, the petitioner has remained under impression that the order of this Court has not been complied. Considering the aforementioned aspect that the order of this Court could not be complied because of want of certain information as also communication gap between the petitioner and the authorities 3 of the Corporation, this contempt application is disposed of with a direction to the petitioner to now supply those information as required by the authority in the letter dated 26.4.2004 within a period of one month from today, whereafter the competent authority of Patna Municipal Corporation shall consider the grievance of the petitioner in the light of the documents furnished by him and pass a reasoned order in next three months. Counsel for the Corporation in fact would submit that the moment such certificates/ information are submitted by the petitioner the payment of Rs. 72,987/- will be made to the petitioner as has been specifically asserted in paragraph 4 of the show cause filed today. In view of the aforementioned observations and directions, this application is disposed of. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/
