IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.1844 of 2010 Prem Prakash Singh Versus State Of Bihar & Ors. ----------- 22.07.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The prayer of the petitioner is that the concerned respondents did not comply the order dated 31st of January 2005 passed in C.W.J.C. No. 1881 of 2004 as contained in annexure -4 as such, they are liable to be proceeded in a contempt proceeding. Mr. Awadesh Kumar Mishra, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that with regard to the non-compliance of the order, the petitioner had previously filed a contempt application vide M.J.C. No. 1116 of 2006 which was heard and disposed of by this court by order dated 17th of July 2007 having found that the direction passed by this court has been duly complied with and the proceedings was dropped. Mr. Mishra, learned counsel for the petitioner further submits that the said contempt application was got disposed of on the basis of misleading statements made on behalf of the State as such, this contempt proceeding should be initiated against the concerned opposite parties. It is further submitted that the posts are still vacant for which necessary directions were given. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State submits that this contempt application has been filed after a good delay without any valid justification. Moreso, the contempt application filed by the petitioner previously upon hearing was disposed of after this court found that the order of this court complied with. Having considered the submissions of the parties, it is not in dispute that petitioner earlier filed a contempt application which upon hearing was dropped after this court found that the directions given by this court is duly complied with as per the order dated 17th of July 2007 passed in M.J.C. No. 1116 of 2006. Considering the above, I am not inclined to interfere in the matter and the contempt application is accordingly, dismissed Jagdish ( Shailesh Kumar Sinha,J.)
