Learned counsel for the petitioner specifically refers to the letter dated 4.4.2008 issued by the then Chief Executive Officer, Bihar State Sunni Wakf Board issued to one of the alleged encroachers in which certain statements have been made about which it is stated that the same is contemptuous in nature and unbecoming of a senior officer. In the show cause filed on behalf of the present Chief Executive Officer, Bihar State Sunni Wakf Board, it is admitted that 2 the mistake has been committed under a mistaken notion by the then Chief Executive Officer of the Board and the present Chief Executive Officer withdraws the said statement and expresses regrets for such mistake. In view of the aforesaid apology expressed by the present Chief Executive Officer of the Sunni Wakf Board and considering the further submissions made by learned counsel for the Wakf Board that the then Chief Executive Officer has since retired in the year 2008, this Court does not consider it appropriate to proceed further in the matter. The contempt application is accordingly dismissed. S.Pandey ( Ramesh Kumar Datta, J.)
