IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.2730 of 2009 KIRIT NARAYAN SINGH son of late Ram Bilash Singh resident of Mohalla Old Jakkanpur Bhagnath Mahto Lane P. S. Jakkanpur, District Patna... Petitioner. Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. Mr. Deepak Kumar Secretary Urban Development Department, Bihar, Patna. 3. Mr. Rama Shankar Jha the Upper Commissioner cum Chief Account Officer, Patna Municipal Corporation Budha Marg, Patna. 4. Mr. K. Sathil Commissioner-cum- Chief Executive Officer Patna Municipal Corporation Budha Marg, Patna.... Opposite parties. ----------- 2. 07.07.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. Counsel for the petitioner would submit that in terms of the order dated 27.2.2009 in CWJC No. 2646 of 2009 (which has been made subject of this contempt application) all other payment has been released to the petitioner but his revised pension has not been paid w.e.f 1.4.1997 to 30.4.2004. Mrs. Sujata Mukherjee, learned counsel for the State would submit that as a matter of fact such payment in fact on account of paucity of fund has not been paid to all the employees. In the opinion of this Court, when the payments as directed by this Court have already been made, the issue of non-payment of certain revised pension by itself would 2 not constitute contempt on the part of opposite parties. Nonetheless if others as claimed by the petitioner are being paid revised pension, the authority would be under obligation to also pay the same to the petitioner within a reasonable period of time. With the aforementioned observation and direction, this contempt application is disposed of. kanchan. (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
