The petitioner aggrieved by non-compliance of the order dated 27.9.1999 passed by this Court in C.W.J.C.No. 9599 of 1999 has approached this Court seeking action under contempt jurisdiction against the opposite parties. From a perusal of the order under contempt it is clear that this Court had not made any adjudication in the matter nor issued any positive direction on the basis of such adjudication but merely on the basis of the submission by learned counsel for the Bihar State Road Transport Corporation that the Apex Court is 2 monitoring the matter regarding the payment of dues to the employees of the respondent BSRTC according to the scheme finalized in terms of its order, the matter was disposed of with a direction to the respondents to pay the dues of the petitioner in terms of the scheme finalized by the Apex Court. It is now submitted by Mr.Prabhat Kumar Verma, learned Sr.counsel for the BSRTC that the matter is still being monitored by the Monitoring Bench of the Apex Court and on the basis of an arbitration certain directions have been issued to the State Governments of Bihar and Jharkhand with respect to the dues of the former and present employees of the Bihar State Road Transport Corporation. It is submitted that the monitoring of the matter by the Apex Court is still going on and the moment the Corporation receives the funds the same will be disbursed in terms of the directions of the Supreme Court to the ex-employees of the Corporation including the petitioner. In view of the fact that the entire issue is being monitored by the Supreme Court and the action is being taken by the authorities accordingly, there does not appear to be any 3 occasion to intervene in the matter under the contempt jurisdiction of this Court. It is expected that the opposite party authorities of the Corporation shall act in terms of the directions issued by the Monitoring Bench of the Supreme Court and clear the dues of the petitioner. The contempt application is, accordingly, disposed of. (Ramesh Kumar Datta,J.) spal/
