IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.1146 of 2007 KASHEO PRASAD SINHA Versus STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 7. 6.8.2009 Show causes have been filed on behalf of the opposite parties. It is stated that the Principal Secretary, Road Construction Department, has already passed reasoned order as directed by the order under contempt and the amounts due have also been paid to the petitioner. Learned counsel for the petitioner accepts that the payment has been received by him but claims interest on the same. In view of the fact that there was no direction regarding payment of interest, rather this Court had not even expressed any opinion with regard to entitlement of interest to the petitioner, there can be no question of the said issue being considered in the contempt jurisdiction. The contempt application is, accordingly, dismissed. P. Kumar (Ramesh Kumar Datta, J.)
