IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.1438 of 2007 KESHAV KANT SHARAN SON OF LATE RAMESHWAR PRASAD, RESIDENT OF M.I.G. 64, LOHIANAGAR, P.S. KANKARBAGH, DISTRICT- PATNA……………………………. PETITIONER. Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS……………. RESPONDENTS ----------- 3 27-9-2010 Heard the parties. From annexure-12 to the supplementary affidavit filed on behalf of petitioner it appears that pursuant to order of the Division Bench in P.I.L. dated 8-1-2007 ( annexure-1) the Secretary, Urban Development, Government of Bihar has considered the representation of the petitioner and disposed of the same by issuing several directions contained in paragraph- 5 of annexure-12. On behalf of petitioner it has been submitted that the directions given by the Secretary in annexure-12 have not been carried out by the concerned authorities and therefore they should be held liable for contempt. We find that the Division Bench had issued a direction upon the Secretary only to consider the representation of the petitioner and take appropriate decision. There was no specific direction for implementation of the decision which may be taken by the Secretary much less 2 within any time frame Since the matter relates to Public Interest, hence we may indicate that after 2007 much water has flown in respect of the problems of sewerage/ drainage in Kankarbagh area and many projects have been initiated involving huge fund. Hence, we are satisfied that no useful purpose will be served by keeping this contempt application pending. It is finally disposed of. Naresh ( Shiva Kirti Singh, J.) ( Hemant Kumar Srivastava,J)
