Versus 1.THE STATE OF BIHAR 2.Shri Anjani Kumar Singh, the Commissioner Cum Secretary to the Govt. Human Resources Development Department, Bihar, Patna. 3.Shri Ashutosh, Director, Primary Education, Bihar, Patna. 4.Shri Baliram Prasad, the Regional Deputy Director of Education, Darbhanga Division, Darbhanga. 5.Shri Lalit Rajak, the District Superintendent of Education, Samastipur. ----------- 2 24-02-2010 Heard Mr. Krishna Murari, learned counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State. Grievance of the petitioner against non compliance of order of this Court dated 21.5.2009 in C.W.J.C. No.3641 of 2009 seems to be genuine, inasmuch as, this Court had directed the authority to dispose of the appeal expeditiously preferably within a period of three months from the date of filing of the same. Counsel for the petitioner has submitted that such appeal was filed on 5.6.2009 and yet the same has not been disposed of. Counsel for the State, as usual, would require further time to take instruction and file his show cause though copy of this contempt petition was served upon him on 11.9.2009. In that view of the matter, this Court instead of keeping the matter pending would direct the concerned authority to ensure that if appeal of the petitioner has not been disposed of 2 till today the same must be disposed of within a period of one month from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. After complying the order the authority shall send the report to the Registrar of this Court as with regard to disposal of the appeal. With the aforementioned observation/direction this application is disposed of. Abhay Kumar ( Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
