The State of Bihar. ----------- 6. 1.2.2010 The writ petition in which the order under contempt dated 9.5.2000 was passed, was disposed of in terms of the directions of this Court in Nikhil Kumar Jha’s case (CWJC No. 11854/99) in which direction was issued to consider the cases of concerned employees of the University for regularisation. The stand taken in the show cause filed on behalf of the authorities of the University is that the cases of all the employees of the concerned categories were considered in accordance with the directions of this Court in Nikhil Kumar Jha’s case and 365 such employees have been regularized in the services of the University, whereas the two petitioners were not found fit for regularisation and accordingly they have not been included in the list of regularized employees, aggrieved by which they have already filed CWJC Nos. 6578/2003 and 889/2007, both of which are pending before this Court. 2 Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that another writ petition being CWJC No. 156/2008 has been filed by petitioner no. 2 for regularisation in view of the order of the Chancellor. In the above circumstances, it does not appear that there has been any deliberate disobedience of the order of this Court under contempt. The contempt application is accordingly dismissed. It is however clarified that the dismissal of the contempt application shall not prejudice the claims of the petitioners as raised in the aforesaid writ petitions. S. Pandey (Ramesh Kumar Datta, J.)
