IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.1826 of 2008 NOOR FATIMA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 12. 11.5.2009. In compliance of my order dated 4.5.2009, the District Welfare Officer and Provident Fund officer, Bhagalpur are personally present. It is submitted on their behalf that delay in complying the order of this Court was made on account of their failure to receive the statement from the office of the Accountant General, Bihar and in support of such statement, reliance is placed on a deduction statement issued by the office of the Accountant General on 27.12.1993 and dispatched under letter no.806 dated 6.6.1994, which appears to have been received in the office of the Provident Fund Officer, Bhagalpur on 25.3.2009. Such explanation on behalf of the authorities has been noticed only to be rejected as when necessary information was despatched by the office of the Accountant General under letter no.806 dated 6.6.1994, there was no reason at all for the same to be received in the office of the District Provident Fund Office on 25.3.2009. Accordingly, both the Officers are 2 directed to pay a cost of Rs.2,500/ each to the petitioner. Such payment be made within two weeks from today. Counsel for the petitioner is at liberty to approach the aforesaid two officials for grant of fresh calculation chart, if he is not satisfied with Annexure-B-II. With this direction, this contempt application is disposed off. ahk (V.N.Sinha,J.)
