Text: LANDIS, C.J. This court on December 19, 1958, handed down its opinion reported in 239 Ind. 453, 154 N.E.2d 512, and therein reversed the judgment of the trial court rendered against appellants, with directions to remand this cause back to the Public Service Commission for further proceedings. In our written opinion this court stated ... we must conclude the order of the commission [appellee Public Service Commission] is not supported by substantial evidence, and that the same must therefore be set aside. Appellant has filed petition for this court to supplement or effectuate its mandate (to which appellee has filed response) from which it appears that the trial court as it understood our mandate has reversed its judgment and remanded the cause to the Public Service Commission for further proceedings, but that the commission has not as yet to this date set aside its order. There can be no question but that this court retains jurisdiction of the original cause for the purpose of effectuating its mandate. See: McBride v. Coleman, Rec. (1919), 189 Ind. 7, 11, 125 N.E. 449; Union Trust Co. etc. v. Curtis (1917), 186 Ind. 516, 524, 116 N.E. 916, 918; International Shoe Co. v. Lacy (1945), 116 Ind. App. 78, 79, 61 N.E.2d 85, 86. The mandate of the previous opinion is therefore modified to provide that the judgment of the trial court is reversed with directions to remand said cause back to the Public Service Commission and that said commission shall set aside its order forthwith. The clerk is directed to certify this opinion forthwith to the court below. Achor, Arterburn and Bobbitt, JJ., concur. Jackson, J., not participating. NOTE.  Reported in 154 N.E.2d 512. Petition to Supplement Mandate reported in 158 N.E.2d 653.
