IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.2478 of 2007 BASUDEO HEALTH FOUNDATION PVT.LTD & ORS. Versus P.S.MEENA ,MANAGING DIRECTOR, BIHAR STATE CREDIT & INVESTMENT CORPORATION LTD. & ORS. ----------- 3/ 25/08/2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the respondent Corporation. The petitioner is stated to have been respondent Nos.4 to 6 in C.W.J.C. No.6555/04. The submission is that this Court in the said writ petition had directed settlement with the highest bidder. The Corporation in C.W.J.C. No.6170/06 filed by Zakir Hussain, the earlier petitioner in C.W.J.C. No.6555/04, has filed an affidavit taking the stand that the petitioner was the highest bidder. The submission therefore is of entitlement for settlement in his favour and failure to do so constitutes disobedience of the order of the Court in C.W.J.C. No.6555/04. This Court does not consider it necessary or proper to go into those issues in the contempt jurisdiction. An order of a Court has to be read in its entirety and not by pulling out a line torn out of context. The direction in C.W.J.C. No.6555/04 was to go in for a fresh process of auction and settlement. In that context the observation that it should be done with the highest bidder. - 2 - Once the petitioner acknowledges that the Corporation has gone in for a process of fresh auction and settlement, the matter goes outside the purview of the contempt jurisdiction. The application is dismissed. KC ( Navin Sinha, J.)
