IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.2395 of 2009 ASHOK KUMAR JAMAIYAR . Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS . ----------- 3/ 10/11/2010 Learned counsel for the opposite parties places a photo coy of an order dated 9.11.2010 finalizing the gradation list of clerks. He submits that he has instructions to state that promotion and posting as Head Clerk on the basis of the gradation list shall commence shortly for which necessary steps are being taken. When the statement is being made on behalf of the State supported by a document finalizing the gradation list the Court takes it as a solemn assurance to the Court by the State in a contempt proceeding. This Court having faith in the assurance is disposing the matter with the hope that a reasonable time of two months shall be enough to give full effect to the order of this Court. The order on the writ petition was passed on 28.8.2008. The time for compliance was fixed as one month from the date of receipt/presentation of a copy of the order. Copy is stated to have been served on 3.11.2008. The contempt application was filed on 3.8.2009. More than two years later on 9.11.2010 the respondents have woken up to the urgency of the matter - 2 - only when the Court started taking up this matter at serial -0 on each subsequent date. Should the petitioner come back to the Court in a fresh writ application that the solemn assurance was not being complied with by the State, the Court may take a very serious view of the matter. The contempt proceedings stand disposed. KC ( Navin Sinha, J.)
