IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.4352 of 2010 LAWANGA DEVI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS. ----------- 5 9.3.2011 1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. 2. This petition has been filed by the petitioner for initiating a proceeding of contempt against respondent No. 3 for non-compliance of order of this Court dated 13.7.2010 (Annexure-1) passed in C.W.J.C. No. 15141 of 2009. 3. From a bare reading of the aforesaid order, it is quite apparent that the writ petition was disposed of with a direction to the Collector, Gopalganj (respondent No. 3), the District Supply officer, Gopalganj (Respondent No.4) and the Selection Committee (Respondent No.7) to decide to the application filed earlier by the petitioner in accordance with law expeditiously preferably within a period of two months from that date . 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner stated that in view of the aforesaid order of this Court, the concerned respondent has passed order dated 17.8.2010 (Annexure-4) but that is a non-speaking direction, not deciding any matter and hence it cannot be assumed to be an order as per the direction of this Court and hence, he submits that it is a clear violation of the specific orders of 2 this Court. 5. Be that as may, an order is passed by the authority concerned after the matter was sent by this Court to the said authority. The said order may be good, bad or in different but that would not attract any provision of the Contempt of Courts Act as the direction of this Court has been complied. 6. In the said circumstances, no contempt having been made out, this petition is disposed of. However, the petitioner will be at liberty to challenge the said order of the authority concerned dated 17.8.2010 (Annexure-4) before an appropriate forum raising all the points which is available to him including the points taken in this petition Prakash ( S.N.
