Katihar – Opp. Parties. 3 4.8.2010 This application has been filed under Article 215 of the Constitution read with sections 4 and 5 of the Contempt of Courts Act. An order was passed by this court that before passing any order for measurement of the land appertaining to khata no. 512, khesra no.1, measuring 487.75 acres, the Subdivisional Officer, Manihari, Katihar was to consider the case of the petitioners and the orders that has been passed in this case with respect to the same lands which is now under some sort of dispute. The grievance of the petitioners is that the Subdivisional Officer, Manihari is not disposing of the representation filed before him. The non-disposal of the representation is not a question 2 of contempt. It is the question of Subdivisional Officer considering the case of the petitioners in the light of the orders of this court. It would be better if the petitioners press their application before the Subdivisional Officer instead of filing frivolous contempt application. This application is dismissed. haque (Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
