IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.3121 of 2010 SUBODH KUMAR Versus STATE OF BIHAR & ORS. ----------- 3 5-1-2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for opposite party no.2, the District Judge, Gaya. Petitioner was granted relief in the year 1999 vide orders passed in a writ petition of 1996 and a modification application of 1999. After a decade the contempt application has been filed by heir of the original petitioner that as per calculation of the petitioner the amount paid long back was insufficient and according to him although interest was calculated and paid but it appears to be @ lesser than 12% which was allowed by this Court. Learned counsel upon instructions from opposite party no.2 has produced before this Court letter of authorization dated 29-9-2000 authorizing payment of interest at the rate of 12%. That letter was sent by the office of the District and Sessions Judge, Gaya to the Accountant General Bihar in response to Accountant General’s letter dated 11-8-2000. Thus there is no basis to allege that interest 2 was sanctioned and paid at less than12%. This Court finds no good reason to proceed with the contempt application. This application is, accordingly dismissed. If petitioner is dis-satisfied with the payment made long back to him he may take recourse of any other appropriate proceeding in accordance with law.
