IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.169 of 2003 KAPILDEO SAHANI son of late Shanker Sahani, resident of village Jhitkahia P.S. Lakhaura, District- East Champaran. Versus 1.THE STATE OF BIHAR 2.S.Shiv Kumar, the District Magistrate, East Champaran at Motihari. ----------- 5 13/7/2009 Heard Mr. Umakant Shukla, learned counsel for the petitioner, who very fairly would now submit that once order of the Collector has been passed the directions of this Court have been complied with. He, however, would further submit that this Court by order dated 24.10.2005 in this very case has directed the concerned authority to pay a sum of Rs. 5,000/- to the petitioner for not filing copy of the order in time along with show cause. Counsel for the State is not aware as to whether Rs.5,000/- has been paid or not to the petitioner by way of compliance of order of this Court and therefore he would only submit that if such amount is not paid the same will be paid to the petitioner within a period of one month from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order by the competent authority. In the opinion of this Court, once order dated 24.10.2005 was made to the authorities and in pursuance whereof they had filed their supplementary show cause annexing copy of the order showing compliance of order of this Court, it was necessary for them to pay Rs.5,000/- to the petitioner as directed in the order dated 24.10.2005. 2 Be that as it may, in view of an undertaking given by counsel for the State regarding payment of Rs.5,000/- in the manner and the time limit as indicated above, this Court would dispose of this contempt application by holding that the substantive portion of order of this Court has been complied and a sum of Rs.5,000/- if not already paid to the petitioner, will be paid within a period of one months from the date of receipt of the order. It goes without saying that the petitioner will be at liberty to proceed in accordance with law as against the order passed by the Collector. This disposes of this application. Let a copy of this order be given to the learned A.A.G.9. Abhay Kumar (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
