IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.538 of 2009 Madhu Kumari Versus The State Of Bihar & Ors ----------- 5 30.08.2011 Heard learned counsels for the petitioner and the State. This application is for initiating a proceeding of contempt for the alleged disobedience of the order dated 17th May, 2004 passed in CWJC No. 6226 of 2001. It is submitted that in the aforesaid writ application a counter affidavit was filed on behalf of the State in which it was stated that the petitioner being a married daughter was not entitled for the appointment on compassionate ground. This Court directed the respondents to pass a final order with respect to the entitlement of the petitioner within a period of three weeks. It is submitted that no order has been passed, and as such, the authority concerned has committed the contempt of Court. It appears that the present contempt application has been filed on 17th February, 2009 after much delay without any valid justification. Moreover, in case no such order was passed, it was open for the petitioner to take the appropriate recourse of law at the material time. In this view of the matter, I am not inclined to initiate the proceeding of contempt. However, in case no final order has been filed as yet, the same may be passed. The application accordingly stands disposed of. Manish/- ( Shailesh Kumar Sinha,J.)
