IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.2283 of 2010 Manohar Maharaj Versus The State Of Bihar & Ors. ----------- 4 29/06/2011 The explanation offered by the District Magistrate, Munger who has appeared in person is that the order of the High Court was not brought to his notice as he joined the district only in the month of February, 2011. Since then he examined the issue and passed a speaking order which is annexure-3 to the show cause filed on his behalf. Since this order does not satisfy the petitioner and is detrimental to his interest, he has liberty to challenge the said order in a fresh proceeding, if so advised. The District Magistrate is advised that he should put a mechanism in place where judicial orders are brought to his notice, priority and due attention is paid so that adjudication of matters before the Court is not prolonged or deferred merely due to non furnishing of inputs from the district concerned. This contempt application is dismissed with the - 2 - liberty as above to the petitioner. Personal appearance of the District Magistrate, Munger is dispensed with. AMIN/ (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
