IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Miscellaneous Jurisdiction Case No.2504 of 2011 Nirpati Prasad Akela & Ors. Versus The State Of Bihar & Ors. ---------------------------------- 2. 30.8.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the State. This application is for initiating contempt proceeding against the opposite parties for their alleged disobedience of the order dated 25th of January, 2005 passed in CWJC No.449 of 2000. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioners that pursuant to the order of this Court, the District Magistrate was to recommend the names of these petitioners to the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) so that whenever the BPSC takes the examination for promotion of the similarly situated candidates, the case of the petitioners could also be tested by the BPSC. Learned counsel for the State submits that this contempt application has been filed after a long delay without valid justification. Learned counsel for the petitioners, however, submits that the petitioners are not aware that during this period, whether any fresh decision has been taken by the Government with regard to considering the case of Class IV employees for their promotion to Class III posts. As such, the petitioners propose to agitate the matter departmentally before the concerned District Magistrate as per the extant circular of the Government. The application stands disposed of.
