In the show cause filed by the opposite party no.1, Municipal Commissioner, Gaya Municipal Corporation it is pointed out that the petitioner had earlier filed a contempt application being M.J.C.No. 1784 of 2005 against the same order. From a perusal of the record of the M.J.C.No. 1784 of 2005 it is evident that the contempt proceedings were closed after hearing learned counsels for the parties. The filing of second M.J.C. application suppressing the said fact amounts to an offence 2 under the Indian Penal Code apart from being itself a contempt of this Court. Since the petitioner has died during pendency of the contempt application and now his heirs are on the record no further proceedings are required to be taken with respect to the said false statement made on oath. The contempt application is, accordingly, dismissed. (Ramesh Kumar Datta,J.) spal/
