IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.1475 of 2008 Dwarika Sharma @ Dwarika Prasad Sharma, son of Late Anant Singh, resident of village- Naudharia, P.O. Buniadganj, P.S.-Buniadganj, District-Gaya Versus 1. The State of Bihar 2. Sri K.P.Ramaiya, the Commissioner, Magadh Pramandal, Gaya 3. Sri Sanjay Kumar Singh, the District Magistrate, Gaya 4. Sri Anil Kumar, the Block Development Officer, Bodhgaya, District-Gaya. ----------- 3. 02.09.2009 The petitioner has come to this Court complaining violation of the order dated 11.3.2005. By the said order the order of punishment passed by the disciplinary authority was set aside on the ground of being in violation of the principles of natural justice and the matter was remitted back to the authorities to proceed with the matter in accordance with law. The grievance of the petitioner is that the matter has not yet been disposed of, the disciplinary proceedings are lingering even after more than four years of the above order and the petitioner has not yet been paid his retiral dues. The said grievance cannot justify the filing of a contempt application as nothing has been done by the authorities in violation of the order under contempt. The contempt application is accordingly dismissed. It is expected that the authorities shall proceed expeditiously and conclude the departmental proceedings within a period of six months from today.
