disobedience of the order dated 20.04.2021 passed by this Court

this Court as and when his turn comes for consideration of grant of

[2023:RJ-JP:32971] (2 of 2) [CCP-98/2023]
Heard. Considered.
While deciding the writ petition filed by the petitioner vide
order dated 20.04.2021, this Court issued following direction:
"This Court disposes of the present writ petition with an observation that RSRTC will take up the case of the petitioner for considering to grant him post retiral benefits as per date of retirement and as per scheme framed by this Court. This Court deems it proper to direct the RSRTC-Corporation that due payment to the petitioner, will immediately be made as and when his turn comes for considering grant of such benefits. Accordingly, the present writ petition stands disposed of."
It is apparent from the aforesaid direction that the petitioner
was to be paid post retiral benefits as per the scheme framed by
this court as and when his turn comes for consideration of grant of
such benefits. As per the scheme framed by this Court for grant of
retiral benefits, a person retiring prior in time was to be extended
benefits first than the person retiring later on. The contempt
petition is bereft of any allegation that person(s) retiring after the
petitioner has been paid post retiral benefits breaching the priority.
In view thereof, no contempt is made out. The contempt
petition is dismissed.
