IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.1722 of 2006 BHARAT PRASAD SINGH Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 09.05.2008 Learned counsel for the Opposite parties prays for further time. This Court is not inclined to grant the same. In view of the subsequent order dated 21.8.2006 restoring the petitioner to his category III post in pursuance of the order on the writ petition as affirmed by L.P.A. Bench, the earlier order of the Department dated 7.3.2006 relegating the petitioner to a Grade IV post automatically stands abrogated by the conduct of the Opposite parties themselves. The contempt proceedings are, accordingly, disposed off. AkS/ (Navin Sinha, J.)
