IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Miscellaneous Jurisdiction Case No.2655 of 2011 Dr. Mithilesh Kumar Sinha, Retired University Professor of Physics, RD & D.J. College Munger, son of Late Sobhan Singh, (Retired Judge), resident of Sanskriti, Mohanpur, Punaichak, P.S. Shastrinagar, District Patna. ... ... Petitioner. Versus 1. The State Of Bihar through Shri Anjani Kumar Singh, Principal Secretary, Higher Education, Bihar, Patna. 2. Dr. K.N. Dubey, the Vice Chancellor, T.M.B. University, Bhagalpur. 3. Shri C.M. Das, Registrar, T.M.B.U. Bhagalpur. 4. Shri Sanjay Sinha, the Finance Officer, T.M.B.U. Bhagalpur. ... ... Respondents. ---------------------------------- 4. 30.11.2011. Heard Shri Ajay Mukherjee, learned counsel for the petitioner, Shri D.K. Singh, learned A.C. to G.P.5 appearing on behalf of opposite party no.1 and learned counsel appearing on behalf of opposite party nos.2 and 3. The present petition was filed with a prayer to initiate contempt proceeding against opposite parties, particularly opposite party no.2 for non compliance of order dated 13.1.2011. The opposite parties have filed show cause and along with show cause, an order dated 27.9.2011 has been brought on record as Annexure-A. Learned counsel for the University submits that in compliance with the order of this Court, the Vice Chancellor i.e. opposite party no.2 has already passed order 2 and a sum of Rs.2,65,067/- vide Cheque dated 27.9.2011 has also been paid to the petitioner and the Vice Chancellor has passed an speaking order. Learned counsel for the petitioner raises serious objection on the order and it was submitted that the grievances of the petitioner have not been completely redressed by the opposite party no.2 and as such it is a fit case for proceeding with the present contempt case. I have perused the order passed by opposite party no.2. It appears that as per direction of this Court dated 13.1.2011, the opposite party no.2 has passed order, so far as question as to whether all the grievances of the petitioner have been redressed or not, the court is of the opinion that while hearing a contempt proceeding, it would be difficult for this Court to enter into the merit of the case. Since the order of this Court has been complied by way of passing order as Annexure-A to the show cause, the court is of the opinion that no contempt proceeding can further be proceeded in the matter. 3 Accordingly, the contempt proceeding stands dropped. However, if so advised, the petitioner may question the order dated 27.9.2011 or raise his grievance in appropriate proceeding. With above observation and liberty, the contempt petition stands disposed of. N.H./ ( Rakesh Kumar,J.)
