IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.1679 of 2008 KRISHNA MOHAN PATHAK . Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS . ----------- 2/ 04/08/2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the opposite parties. The submission is that the direction for payment of legitimate arrears of salary consequent to transfer has not been complied with despite a representation submitted by the petitioner. This Court from paragraph-12 of the show cause is satisfied that the factual assertion of the opposite parties that the petitioner had not joined duties and therefore the question of payment of salary does not arise is an issue which cannot be adjudicated in contempt jurisdiction and has necessarily to be the subject-matter of consideration in a fresh writ application only. The contempt application stands disposed. KC ( Navin Sinha, J.)
