IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.3094 of 2007 ABUL HASAN Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 6. 8.5.2008 The petitioner has filed the present application for initiating a contempt proceeding against the District Magistrate, Begusarai claiming that he has deliberately violated the order dated 29.11.2006 passed in C.W.J.C. No.8230 of 2005. The direction was that the District Magistrate,Begusarai would pass a reasoned order within four months from the date of the order after giving an opportunity to the petitioner to explain to the authorities that no amount is due from him. A show cause has been filed today on behalf of the District Magistratge, Begusarai in which an order dated 5.5.2008 has been enclosed as Annexure-F, which is stated to be a reasoned order passed by him pursuant to the direction of this court given in order dated 29.11.2005 passed in C.W.J.C. No. 8230 of 2005. Learned counsel for the petitioner makes a grievance that the said order is factually or legally incorrect. The said issue cannot be adjudicated upon in the contempt jurisdiction. Thus, the contempt application has no merit and it is, accordingly, dismissed. It goes without saying that if the petitioner is aggrieved by the said reasoned order, then he may challenge the same in appropriate proceedings. VPS ( Ramesh Kumar Datta,J.)
