IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.14973 of 2005 Manish Kumar son of Sri Sudhaker Prasad, At Guljarbagh Shivpur Road, P.O.-Godda, P.S.-Godda, District-Godda (JH), A/p Care- Kapildeo Sah, Ram Janki Bhandar, Churi Market, Patna. ..........Petitioner Versus 1. The Union of India through the Secretary, Department of Telecommunication, New Delhi. 2. S.P. Singh, Chief Postmaster General, Bihar Circle, Meghdoot Bhawan, G.P.O.-Patna. 3. Surendra Jha, Assistant Director (Mails) Meghdoot Bhawan, G.P.O.-Patna. 4. P.N. Jha, Superintendent of Post Officer, Vaishali Division, Hazipur. ..........Respondents ----------- 05 20.09.2011 1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the respondents. 2. This writ petition has been filed by the petitioner for the following reliefs:- a) Direction to the respondents to dispose of the tender matter to carry mails Hazipur to Vaisali within a week pending since 21.09.2004 in violation to Hon’ble Court order dated 14.07.2004 to dispose of the tender matter within two weeks from the date of order. b) Contempt against the defaulters for not complying the order of Hon’ble Court dated 14.07.2004. c) Deduction of payments made to the carrying mail contractor Mr. Vijay Nair from the Salary of Chief Post Master, Bihar Circle Patna, Assistant Director Mails and Superintendent of Post Officers, Hazipur, who did not comply the order of Hon’ble Court to dispose of the tender matter within two months and continued to the get the mail carried through Mr. Vijay Nair for the last 13 months @ 850/- per month, when the other tenders were of lower rate for one to two thousand monthly. 2 3. From the facts and circumstances of this case and from the argument of learned counsel for the parties, it transpires that originally the allotment of tender was made in favour of the petitioner for conveyance of mails by small three wheeler vehicles between Hajipur to Vaishali with up and down journey throughout the year on a monthly remuneration for three years. 4. The said allotment in favour of petitioner was challenged by one Mahim Narain Singh vide C.W.J.C. No. 3531 of 2002, which was disposed of by a Bench of this Court on 14.07.2004 (Annexure-1) with a direction that the Chief Post Master General, Patna shall invite fresh tender in which the petitioner and the said objector may also participate and their cases shall be considered along with other tenders without being prejudiced by any action of the authority or any order passed by this Court in the present case, which must be done within two months. 5. The grievance of the petitioner is that although two months time was granted by the said order but the petitioner was never informed what had happened with regard to said tender and hence the said order of this Court has been violated. 6. There is nothing to show what had happened thereafter. Neither the petitioner has brought on record any step taken by the authorities in that regard nor he had filed any petition before this Court for initiating a proceeding of contempt against the respondents authorities for violating the said order dated 14.07.2004 passed in C.W.J.C. No. 3531 of 2002. 7. Furthermore, it is quite apparent that the allotment was 3 only for three years and several three years have lapsed since 2004 and no interim order had also been passed in this writ petition. 8. Accordingly, this Court finds that the writ petition has become infructuous and is accordingly disposed of. Safik (S.N. Hussain, J.)
