IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.994 of 2008 RAM CHANDRA LAL Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ANR ----------- 02 17.12.2008 On 13.9.2007 the following orders came to be passed: “Heard all the parties. The petitioner before this court, is the employee of the respondent District Board, Samastipur. According to the petitioner, he retired on 31.10.1997. This writ petition has been filed in the year 2005. The petitioner has not made any statement so far as delay in approaching this Court is concerned. In that view of the matter, this writ petition before this Court after so many years is not entertainable. However, a counter affidavit has been filed and placed on record by the respondent District Board, from perusal whereof it appears that substantial part of the grievance(s) have already been redressed by the respondents. Having considered the pleadings on record and after hearing all the sides, I dispose of this writ petition giving liberty to the petitioner to approach 2 the concerned authority for payment of the remaining amount/dues, if any. If such a representation is filed within three weeks, the concerned authority shall take steps to redress the remaining grievances within a reasonable period of time. With this observation, this application stands disposed of.” This court on consideration of the materials on record and nature of the order passed under order dated 13.09.2007 is not convinced that any case for interference in the contempt jurisdiction is made out. Accordingly, this contempt application stands disposed of. Sym ( Kishore K. Mandal, J.)
