The petitioner has filed the present contempt application after a lapse of 12 years claiming wilful disobedience of the order dated 20.2.1995 of this Court. By the aforesaid order this Court held that no direction can be given either for payment of salary or for regularization of service, and the petitioner should file a representation before the Director, Primary Education, Bihar who will look into the grievance of the petitioner and will pass an appropriate order within a period of three months from the date of filing of representation in accordance with law. In the above circumstance, filing of contempt application after 12 years of passing of the order of the nature referred to above appears to be wholly unjustified. - 2 - In any view of the matter, it is stated in the show cause filed on behalf of the opposite parties that the claim of the petitioner has been considered and rejected by order dated 3.8.2007(Annexure E) since there is nothing on record to show that any representation was filed by the petitioner earlier in the matter pursuant to the order of this court. In the aforesaid facts and circumstances, there is no merit in this contempt application. It is accordingly, dismissed. shahid (Ramesh Kumar Datta, J)
