DINESH KUMAR SINGH THE NAME OF HIS FATHER IS NOT KNOWN TO THE PETITIONER AT PRESENT POSTED AS THE BRANCH MANAGER L.D.B BHOJPUR AT ARA. ……… OPPOSITE PARTIES. ----------- 02/ 29.03.2010 Heard counsel for the petitioner, the State and the counsel representing opposite parties 2 and 3, Land Development Bank. On perusal of the statement in the contempt application and the show cause as well as different annexures annexed with the supplementary affidavit filed by the petitioner, I find that rightly or wrongly the opposite parties have considered the petitioner’s show cause and on verification of relevant records have passed the order - 2 - regarding payment. The grievance of the petitioner is that though the Manager of the Bank had considered his case rightly on the basis of his show cause, but the higher authority arbitrarily modified the order and thus he was found entitled only for 196 days salary. I find that as per the direction of this Court in the writ application, opposite parties have considered the show cause filed by the petitioner and passed an order. In case petitioner has any grievance against that order, he can challenge that order before the appropriate forum. No case of contempt is made out. Accordingly, this proceeding is dropped.
