No 2nd Floor, Murya Lok Complex, Patna.800001. 2. The State of Bihar. .. Opposite parties. ----------- 2. 23.06.2010 Counsel for the petitioner prays for and is allowed to implead the State of Bihar as opposite party no. 2 to this contempt application. Coming to the merits of this case, this Court would find that the only direction of this Court in the dated 30.01.2008 in CWJC No. 10052 of 2007 was as follows: “ This Court, without expressing any opinion on the merits of this case, directs the Authorities of Patna Municipal Corporation, to pass a final order on the pending application of the petitioner seeking mutation within a period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order.” The grievance of the petitioner is that the 2 aforesaid direction has not been complied as yet. Counsel for the opposite party no. 1 submits that there were certain disputes as also another case, criminal writ filed by the petitioner which has also been dismissed. In the opinion of this Court, the order dated 30.01.2008 being very limited and quite specific has to be complied irrespective of any dispute and/or pendency of any other case. That being so, this Court would direct the opposite party no. 1 or his successor in office to ensure the strict compliance of the aforementioned direction of this Court in the order dated 30.01.2008 in CWJC No. 10052 of 2007 within a further period of two months form the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. It is made clear that if now the order of this Court dated 30.1.2008 is not complied with, the person holding the post of Municipal Commissioner of Patna Municipal Corporation as on date will be personally held liable for being proceeded and punished under the 3 provision of Contempt of Courts Act. With the aforementioned observation and direction, this application is disposed of. kanchan (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
