IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.4191 of 2009 Jeevraj, S/o Hardeo, R/o Mohalla- Ambedkar Colony, Mangal Talab, P.S. Khajkelan, Distt.- Patna. ------ Petitioner Versus 1. The State of Bihar. 2. Mr. Afjal Imam Abdullah, the Secretary Urban Development Department, Bihar, Patna 3. Mr. K. Santhil Kumar, Commissioner-cum-Chief Executive Officer, Patna Municipal Corporation, Budh Marg, Patna 4. Mr. Brahmi Ram, Executive Officer Patna City Circle, Patna Municipal Corporation, Patna. ------- Opposite Parties ----------- 4 22.09.2010 In the opinion of this Court, the order dated 6.3.2009 has been fully complied, inasmuch as, the opposite parties in their show-cause have stated that the required amount of revised pension has already been paid to the petitioner. Let it be noted that copy of such show-cause reply was served on the counsel for the petitioner on 25.8.2010 but, there is no rejoinder to it denying such payment made to the petitioner and, as such, the statement made by the opposite parties have to be accepted. Counsel for the petitioner, however, would submit that since some portion of revised pay of the petitioner has not been paid, the order of this Court cannot be said 2 to be fully complied. One would fail to appreciate the logic of such submission, inasmuch as, when this Court in its order, in question, had not said a single word about the payment of arrear salary, how would a question of contempt arise on the ground of its non- payment. The direction of this Court was plain and simple confined only to payment of revision of pension and once that has been complied, nothing would survive for adjudication in this contempt application. That being so, this contempt application has become infructuous and is accordingly dismissed. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
