IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Miscellaneous Jurisdiction Case No.2501 of 2011 ====================================================== Manimala Devi .... .... Petitioner Versus The Union Of India & Ors .... .... Opposite parties ====================================================== 8 25-04-2012 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the opposite parties. 2. By order dated 24.08.2011 the petitioner had filed C.W.J.C. No.161 of 2011, which was disposed of by this court vide order dated 17.01.2011 with a liberty to the petitioner to file a representation before the Chief Regional Manager, Oriental Insurance Company Limited, Patna and if such representation was filed by the petitioner before the said authority within 15 days from that date, the said authority was directed to decide the same in accordance with law without being prejudiced by the said order expeditiously preferably within a period of two months from the date of filing of the representation. 3. It transpires that in compliance of the said order the petitioner filed an application before the authority concerned on 02.02.2011, whereafter the matter was considered by the competent authority which approved petitioner’s claim of Rs.1,39,000.00. Thereafter the instant M.J.C. case was filed by the petitioner for initiating a proceeding of contempt for the Patna High Court MJC No.2501 of 2011 (8) dt.25-04-2012 2 alleged disobedience of the said order dated 17.01.2011. However when the case was listed on 24.08.2011 the opposite parties produced a cheque of Rs.1,39,000.00 dated 23.08.2011 bearing no.777885 of Vijay Bank, Kadam Kuan, Patna payable to the petitioner. The said cheque was accepted by learned counsel for the petitioner, whereafter the M.J.C. petition was disposed of with a liberty to the petitioner to raise any objection before the authorities concerned, if she was not satisfied. 4. Now much after disposal of the said M.J.C. case the instant interlocutory application bearing I.A. No.2725 of 2012 has been filed on behalf of the petitioner for allowing the counsel for the petitioner to deposit the said cheque in this court or for a direction to the opposite parties to accept the aforesaid cheque. 5. The prayer is quite strange as earlier the petitioner’s counsel had himself accepted the cheque and the M.J.C. case was disposed of with a liberty to the petitioner to raise any objection before the authority concerned, if she was not satisfied with the said amount. Such an objection can be raised now also as it appears that the petitioner is not satisfied with the said amount and wants about Rs.5 lacs. Patna High Court MJC No.2501 of 2011 (8) dt.25-04-2012 3 6. In the said circumstances this interlocutory application being absolutely frivolous and misconceived is hereby dismissed. Harish/- (S.N. Hussain, J)
