ORDER

' SH. RIAZ AHMED, J.---The dispute in this case is between the two rival transporters. It was alleged that on the night between 6/7-10-1999, taking undue advantage of the status quo order dated 5- 10-1999 the respondents alongwith others forcibly and illegally took possession of base No,13 from M/s. Javed Group and Messrs Ali Barq Group. The matter was brought into the notice of the Administrator of the Bus Adda and complaint was lodged at the police station and an F.I.R. Was also registered. A writ petition was also filed, which was dismissed and thereafter as against the violation of the status quo order, an application was filed for taking appropriate action for contempt of the Court, but on account of the dismissal of the writ petition, the High Court declined to interfere vide order impugned. Leave to appeal is sought against the aforesaid order.

2. After hearing the learned counsel at length, we are of the view that the contempt proceedings cannot be resorted to for seeking personal vendetta. The parties are at loggerheads with each other and the law will take its own course. We do not find any merit in this petition. The same is dismissed and leave to appeal is refused.
