Respondents ------- Heard the petitioner, who appears in person and learned counsel for the State. This review application has been filed to seek review or modification of the order dated 1.12.2009 passed by us in CWJC No.11565 of 2009 whereby we directed for listing of that writ petition after final decision of the Supreme Court in a matter relating to Writ Petition (Civil) No.310 of 1996 (Prakash Singh & ors. V. Union of India & ors.). The stand of the petitioner is that nothing remains to be decided in the said writ petition on merits and that case is lingering in the Supreme Court only because contempt 2 petitions filed by different parties for disobedience of the earlier final order passed by the Supreme Court, are pending. The petitioner has taken a further stand that he is not interested in initiation of any contempt proceeding against the State of Bihar but is only interested in challenging the validity of Bihar Police Act, 2007 on the ground that this Act has been passed by the State Legislature in total disregard of the final order of the Apex Court in the aforesaid case of Prakash Singh & others. Considering all the facts and circumstances and aforesaid stand of the petitioner, we modify the last paragraph of the order dated 1.12.2009 and direct that CWJC No.11565 of 2009 may now be listed before appropriate Bench dealing with the subject of ultra vires of the Acts of the Legislature. It is expected that the matter shall be listed before appropriate Bench without any delay. This review petition is finally disposed of. (Shiva Kirti Singh, J.) (Shyam Kishore Sharma, J.) sk
