The State of Bihar, through Commissioner-cum-Secretary, Education, Department, Govt. of Bihar, Patna .. Respondents. ----------- 2. 21.04.2010 Counsel for the petitioner prays for and is allowed to remove the defect in course of the day. Counsel for the petitioner next submits that the order of this court dated 3.12.2008 has not been complied as yet. Counsel for the State on the other hand would submit that he has got no instruction till date though a copy of this contempt application was served on 23.12.2009. In that view of the matter, no useful purpose 2 would be served by keeping this contempt application pending specially when the same contains a limit direction for disposal of the representation to be filed by the petitioner. This court in fact in the order dated 3.12.2008 had held as follows:- “ In that view of the matter, this Court would dispose of the present writ application by directing the petitioner to file a compact representation within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order, whereafter the concerned B.D.O., Charpokhari, in the district of Bhojpur would issue notice to the Mukhiya of Malaur Gram Panchayat as also to the persons who may be effected in terms of the grievances of the petitioner raised in the representation, namely Krishna Kant Pandey, Shashi Bushan Singh, Laxman Singh, Ramesh Tiwary, Siya Mani Kumari and Sushma Kumari, being respondents no. 7 to 12. The B.D.O., Charpokhari, Bhojpur after issuing notice to him and perusing the records to be produced by the Gram Panchayat as also hearing all concerned would take a final decision within a period of six months from the date of filing of the representation of the petitioner.” In terms of the aforementioned directions, the petitioner in fact claims to have filed his representation on 9.1.2009 and therefore the same ought to have been disposed of on 9th of July 2009. As noted above, counsel for the State till date 3 is not aware about the disposal of the said representation. In that view of the matter, Block Development Officer, Charpokhari, Bhojpur is given a last opportunity to comply the aforementioned order of this Court within a period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order, if not already complied by him. The Block Development Officer, Charpokhari, Bhojpur will be under obligation to send a copy of the order passed on the representation of the petitioner by registered post to the petitioner and also send a compliance report to the Registry of this Court through Standing Counsel No. X. With the aforementioned observation, this application is disposed of. Let a copy of this order be handed over to S. C. X for its immediate compliance. Kanchan (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
