IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.1110 of 2007 BADRUS JAMA, S/o Ashgar Ali, Resident of village- Khalalpura, P.S.- Phulwari, Distt- Patna Versus 1. STATE OF BIHAR 2. Mr. Afzal Ammanulah, the Home Commissioner, Government of Bihar, Patna. 3. Mr. Ashish Ranjan Sinha, Director General of Police, Government of Bihar, Patna. ----------- 3 05-03-2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The State has produced before us a copy of order dated 11- 2-2004 which shows that CWJC no.1311/2003 in which certain directions were issued for transfer and posting of police officials posted since long has been finally disposed of by holding that public interest litigation had already served its purpose. The petitioners of that case are said to have moved before the Apex Court also but without any success. The order of Supreme Court is said to be reported in 2008 (1) PLJR, 16 (SC). In the present case the petitioner has tried to raise a grievance that in the year 2003 some police officials were transferred but that order was not implemented. His grievance, raised belatedly in the year 2007, does not serve any public purpose. The petitioner has no personal interest in the matter. The writ petition is, therefore, found not fit one to be entertained as public interest or in exercise of contempt jurisdiction since it has been filed after four years of the alleged transfer order. It is in common knowledge that transfers and postings are made after every three years. It is expected that the - 2 - authorities concerned will exercise their power of transfer and posting keeping in view all the relevant circumstances. The contempt petition is disposed of.
