SHRI BAIDHYANATH RAZAK FATHER'S NAME NOT KNOWN TO THE PETITIONER DISTRICT AGRICULTURE OFFICER, MUZAFFERPUR. --------- 03/ 24.11.2010 Heard counsel for the petitioner and learned Advocate-General appearing on behalf of contemnor, Agricultural Production Commissioner, who is also present before this Court. From the supplementary show cause filed today, it now transpires that the decision has been taken on 18.11.2010, to send the petitioner on training in February- 2011. It has also been made clear that the delay caused in sending the petitioner in training will not be to prejudice him in any manner, inasmuch as, his seniority shall stand protected. In that view of the matter, counsel for the petitioner, who initially wanted that the petitioner should have been in fact also promoted, on being made to realize that the order of this Court in the connected writ petition was not to this effect, seems to be satisfied with the stand taken by the opposite parties including the Agricultural Production Commissioner, in his supplementary show cause reply. 3 That being so, there would be hardly any occasion to proceed further against the opposite parties in this contempt proceeding. This contempt application is accordingly dropped in the light of the aforementioned observation. Personal appearance of Mr. Ashok Kumar Sinha, Agricultural Production Commissioner, Bihar is also dispensed with. Ranjan (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
