IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.3858 of 2010 NAVAL KISHORE RAI . Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS. . ----------- 04. 18.05.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and for the State. In view of the statement made in paragraph- 10 of the show cause, supported by Annexure-B, the contempt proceedings are disposed as infructuous. However, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that Annexure-B is only a direction. There is nothing on record to suggest that it has been implemented by including his name in the gradation list. The show cause on behalf of the opposite parity no.4 is treated as a solemn assurance and undertaking by him to the Court directly and not an assurance to the petitioner. If the order dated 1.6.2010 by opposite party no.4 is not complied with fully in its true letter and spirit within a period of one month from the date of presentation of this order before him, serious issues may arise against the opposite no.4 of misleading the Court in a judicial proceeding making incorrect statements on oath. The show cause is completely silent for the reasons of the delay in filing of the same and does not fix 2 responsibility on any one. It completely ignores the directions of this court in this regard dated 24.2.2011. Opposite party no.4 has deposited the costs, but does not disclose if it is from his personal salary. The Court had directed that State shall not bear the burden for the inefficiency of its officials. The Chief Secretary of the State shall ensure that the cost is deposited by the opposite party no.4 from his personal salary. Let a copy of this order be sent to the Chief Secretary of the State of Bihar for compliance. P.K. (Navin Sinha, J.)
