IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.2490 of 2009 KUMARI BIBHA SINHA @ KUMARI BIBHA SINHA & ORS . Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS . ----------- 6. 24.11.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the State. The petitioners allege flouting of the order of the Court in C.W.J.C. No. 3045 of 2008, disposed on 13.4.2009. It is submitted that this Court had directed the claim of the petitioners to be considered in light of their success in the Auxiliary Nurse Midwifery examination held in the year 1996. The Opposite Parties have taken no steps to consider appointment of the petitioners in the forthcoming Session or if vacancy was available in the earlier Session as observed by the Court. Learned counsel for the State has relied upon a Division Bench judgment of this Court in 2002(4) PLJR 173, noticing the earlier method of selection and appointment of Auxiliary Nurse Midwifery and the changes that took place in the procedure with effect from 10.6.1996. This Court finds that the claims of the petitioners appropriately fall in the category noticed in Paragraph-16 of the Division Bench judgment. Since 2 the issue shall now involve interpretation and consideration of applicability of the Division Bench judgment, this Court finds it difficult to proceed on those issues in the contempt jurisdiction. The law is well settled that in contempt jurisdiction the Court cannot enter into a discussion of questions and arrived at a determination by reasons to hold flouting of an order. The contempt proceeding shall lie only for a direct flouting of an order of the Court without furthermore. The present is not one such case any more. If so advised, the petitioners may pursue their remedies under appropriate forum when the judgment of the Division Bench shall also fall for consideration appropriately. The contempt proceedings stand dismissed. P. Kumar ( Navin Sinha, J.)
