IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Miscellaneous Jurisdiction Case No.85 of 2008 Smt. Vijay Laxmi Kumari Versus The State of Bihar & Ors. ---------------------------------- 4. 20.9.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as also the learned counsel appearing for the opposite party-Magadh University and the State. This contempt application has been filed for the alleged disobedience of the order dated 7.7.2006 passed in M.J.C. No.2780 of 2005. The said contempt application was filed for the alleged disobedience of the order dated 23rd of August, 2004 passed in C.W.J.C. No.9685 of 2004. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the opposite party-University authorities have disobeyed the order dated 7.7.2006 of this Court passed in M.J.C. No.2780 of 2005 and as such, the present contempt application was filed on 8th of January, 2008. A show cause has been filed on behalf of the State as also the opposite party (Magadh University) stating details of the payment made to the claimant. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is entitled to the family pension as also the arrears of family pension, which has not been paid by the Magadh University. In reply, learned counsel for the University submits that since the husband of the petitioner had opted for receiving the contributory provident fund and, as such, the family pension was - 2 - not admissible. Considering the submissions of the parties and on perusal of the order dated 7.7.2006 passed in M.J.C. No.2780 of 2005, I do not find that any of the directions of this Court has been disobeyed as this Court simply disposed of the above contempt application with liberty to the petitioner to move the authority concerned or any other appropriate forum for redressal of his remaining grievance. However, it is made clear that I have not expressed any opinion on the merits with respect to the alleged subsisting claim(s) of the petitioner. In view of the show cause, the contempt application stands disposed of. PNM (Shailesh Kumar Sinha, J.)
