IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Miscellaneous Jurisdiction Case No.713 of 2009 Kishori Paswan & Ors Versus The State Of Bihar & Ors ---------------------------------- 3. 18.8.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioners allege non-compliance of the order dated 10th of May, 2006 passed in CWJC No.16213 of 2004. The contempt application has been filed on 19th of February, 2009 without having any valid justification for filing the same after long delay. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioners that the authorities would have taken all necessary actions with respect to the panel in question and, as such, they have violated the order of this Court; more so the authorities ought to have taken action pursuant to the governmental instruction dated 26th of May, 1987, as contained in Annexure 2. Mr Parthasarthy, learned Standing Counsel appearing on behalf of the State submits that the matters involving similar issue were agitated in some other writ applications and presently the matter is sub judice before the Hon’ble Supreme Court in different S.L.Ps., including S.L.P.(C) No.22236 of 2007 and S.L.P.(C) No.22238 of 2007. However, some of the writ petitioners having similar grievances had filed contempt application vide M.J.C. No.1142 of 2007, which was disposed of by order dated 26th of March, 2008 with liberty to the petitioners of the said case to approach this Court once again if the orders of - 2 - this Court is sustained by the Hon’ble Supreme Court. Be that as it may, in this case there is nothing on the record that any wilful disobedience of any direction of this Court has been made and, as such, I am not inclined to proceed further in the matter. The application stands disposed of. PNM (Shailesh Kumar Sinha, J.)
