In the said order the direction to the Bihar College Service Commission was to consider the case of the petitioner along with other eligible candidates, if the petitioner had applied and if he was found equal to other competing candidates, weightage should be given to his experience as a teacher in the foresaid college and similar weightage should also be given to other candidates if they were found equal to the other candidates. The petitioner has approached this Court after nine years since the said order under contempt was passed and in the meantime, the College Service Commission itself has ceased to - 2 - exist as the Act under which it was constituted has been repealed. In the above circumstances the contempt application is stale and hopelessly barred by limitation and ought not to be proceeded with. The contempt application is, accordingly, dismissed.
