IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.2214 of 2004 RAMJEE SINGH & ORS Versus STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- For the Petitioner : M/S. Sunil Kumar & Raj Kumar For the Respondents 1to 6 : Mr. Rajesh Kumar No. II, G.P.XIX & Mr. Bibhakar Tiwary,J.C. to G.P.XIX ------------ P R E S E N T Hon'ble the Chief Justice & Hon'ble Mr. Justice Kishore K. Mandal ------------ Dated, the 31st July, 2008. The petitioners approached this Court aggrieved by an order dated 24th January, 2003 and other consequential orders whereby the regularisation granted to them was cancelled. The said writ petition came to be disposed of by order dated 27th February, 2004. It was held that the cancellation of regularisation and the consequential orders, without affording any opportunity of hearing to the petitioners, was bad in law. The Court, however, directed the respondents to proceed in accordance with law. 2. In the light of the liberty granted by this Court, the authorities accorded opportunity of hearing to the petitioners; gave show cause notice to the petitioners and by various speaking orders which have been annexed as Annexures A, B, B/1, B/2, B/3, B/4, B/5, B/6, B/7, B/8, B/9 and B/10, declared that their regularization was non est. 3. By means of this contempt application (M.J.C. No. - 2 - 2214 of 2004), it is alleged that the action of the respondents in passing the order of cancellation of regularisation was in violation of the orders of this Court dated 27th February, 2004. 4. We are afraid, by issuing orders Annexure-A to Annexure- B/10, as noticed above, the respondents cannot be held guilty of having committed any contempt of the order of this Court. If the petitioners are aggrieved by the legality or correctness of those orders, they may pursue an appropriate remedy in challenging those orders in accordance with law. 5. Hence, this M.J.C. is disposed of with liberty as observed above. R. M. Lodha, CJ Kishore K. Mandal, J AMIN/-
