IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.1156 of 2011 TAPESHWAR PANDEY & ORS Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS. ----------- 2/ 18/05/2011 The Court had declined to issue any mandamus to fill up vacant post. It had only made an observation that if sanctioned post exists the respondents may not make ad hoc/daily wage appointments and continue it indefinitely without resorting to regular appointments. No other relief was sought. There is no pleading in the contempt application that the respondents were continuing with the ad hoc/daily wage appointments against sanctioned posts. The allegation is of failure to consider for appointment mandamus for which was denied. The application is disposed with the observation that no proceedings in contempt shall lie in the nature of the order. KC ( Navin Sinha, J.)
