IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.2246 of 2007 SUBHASH CHANDAR SAHA Versus STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2. 6.8.2008. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. This petition has been filed for initiating a proceeding of contempt against the opposite parties for violating the order of this Court dated 13.7.2006 passed in C.W.J.C. No. 7359 of 2002 (Annexure-1). By the said order State Government was directed to take steps for appointment of a committee of three high officials preferably within a period of one month from the date of that order so that the said committee may be able to decide the entire matters by 30th September, 2006 as it had been stated on behalf of the State Government on 10.5.2006 that the case of the petitioners who are fulfilling the eligibility criteria as per the policy was also to be considered and finalized on or before 30th September, 2006. Learned counsel for the opposite party has filed a show-cause in which apart from tendering unqualified and unconditional apology it has specifically been stated that the said order has been duly complied with vide Government Order dated 24.1.2005 which is clear from Annexure-C of the show cause. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the said order is illegal, arbitrary and perverse and the specific statement made before this Court on 10.5.2006 mentioned in paragraph 8 of the said order of this Court had not been complied and the matter of - 2 - inter se seniority has also not been properly considered. From the facts and circumstances, it transpires that the order of this Court has been complied but the petitioner is not satisfied with the said order. In the said circumstances, no case of contempt is made out and accordingly, this petition is dismissed with a liberty to the petitioner to challenge the order of the authorities before any appropriate forum. kanchan (S.
