IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.1587 of 2010 DAYA NAND JHA . Versus STATE OF BIHAR & ORS. . with MJC No.1588 of 2010 INDRA NARAYAN LAL DEO . Versus STATE OF BIHAR & ORS. . ----------- 2. 1.12.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the Opposite Parties. The claim in the writ application was to be considered for regularization on the post of Assistant Engineer. The order refusing to do so was set aside and directions to take a fresh decision in accordance with law was passed on 23.11.2009. A show cause is filed on behalf of the Opposite Parties. It states at Paragraph-8 that a proposal to consider for regularization has been prepared for approval of the Cabinet. Certain amendments to the same have been made on the satisfaction of the Cabinet Secretariat. The submission therefore is that necessary steps for compliance of the order have been taken but it may require some time. The time fixed in the order of the Court has long since expired. The Opposite Parties has already flouted the orders of the Court. 2 But considering their stand that they are seriously in the process of compliance, accepting their solemn assurance made to the Court, it declines to proceed further in the contempt jurisdiction in the fond expectation that the Opposite Parties shall stand by their assurances made to the Court within a maximum period of two months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. Should the petitioners approached the Court again with a grievance that the respondents have not abided by the solemn assurance made to the Court in this contempt proceeding, the Court may be constrained to proceed appropriately. The applications stand disposed. P. Kumar (Navin Sinha, J.)
