IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.785 of 2009 SHRI N.N.LAL & ORS Versus DR.UMESH CHANDRA RAY & ANR ----------- 8 13.1.2010 This contempt application was filed on 24.2.2009. Opportunity was given to the counsel appearing on behalf of opposite parties to file show cause. After several opportunities, a show cause was filed. However, a number of reasons were stated as to why the order of this Court could not be implemented. All such reasons of course were frivolous and ultimately the petitioners’ grievances were met by the order dated 11.1.2010. Considering the fact that the persons similarly situated to the petitioners were regularised/appointed by an order in pursuance of an order of this Court which was passed in a case reported in 2006(1)PLJR728, the petitioners’ regularization/appointment is after a great delay. Considering all the facts, the opposite parties are directed to pay cost of litigation of Rs. 2,500/- to each of the petitioners. Let the records of this case be finally closed. Sanjay (Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
