IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.2207 of 2010 SURENDRA PRASAD, AGED ABOUT 46 YEARS, S/O LATE MAHESHWARI SINGH, R/O VILLAGE-GARO BIGHA, P.O.-DHANIAMA, P.S.-NARHAT, DISTRICT- NAWADA. ……………PETITIONER. Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH PRINCIPAL SECRETARY, HEALTH AND FAMILY WELFARE DEPARTMENT, GOVT. OF BIHAR, PATNA. 2. DR.SATRUGHAN PRASAD SINGH, THE DIRECTOR- IN-CHIEF, GOVT. OF BIHAR, PATNA. 3. SAJGEEV HANS, THE DIRECTOR YAKSHAMA PRADARSHAN AND TRAINING CENTRAL, AGAMKUAN, PATNA-7.……………OPPOSITE PARTIES. ----------- 3 25.08.2011 This contempt application has been filed for alleged violation of an order passed by this Court in CWJC No.14974 of 2001. That writ application was filed by an Association and this Court observed that all concerned authorities are under legal obligation to implement the orders and directions of the Apex Court passed in the case of Ashwani Kumar and others Vs. The State of Bihar [(1997) 2 SCC 1]. Petitioner has filed this contempt application in individual capacity after his writ application was disposed of with the observations that he may prefer a contempt, vide order contained in Annexure-2. Petitioner’s grievance is that against the newspaper advertisement dated 08.03.2006, he 2 had filed application for being considered in view of the Apex Court judgment, but till now he has not been informed anything about the same. Instead of moving this Court straightaway, it was appropriate for the petitioner to get information from the concerned authorities in respect of his application under R.T.I. Act. This contempt application appears to be only by way of fishy inquiry. Therefore the same is misconceived. Accordingly, the application is dismissed. Arvind/ ( J.N. Singh, J.)
