Learned counsel for the State of Bihar, which is the petitioner in this application, prays for extending the time granted to the officials of the State of Bihar for complying with the directions contained in the judgment of Letters Patent Appeal No. 1223 of 2005 dated 23.10.2008. The period of six months fixed by that order has already expired in April, 2009. Learned counsel for the State submits that all efforts are being made to comply with the order of the Division Bench and the authorities shall fully comply with the order by 30th July, 2 2009. We have been informed that the counsel for the private respondents has refused to take notice on the plea that file and papers have been taken away by his client. In view of order proposed to be passed, we are not issuing any notice upon the respondents. This application for modification is disposed of with an observation that if the respondents comply with the order of the Division Bench by July, 2009 then in any contempt proceeding it will be presumed that they have not acted in deliberate disobedience of the Court’s order. dk ( Shiva Kirti Singh, J. ) ( Dr. Ravi Ranjan, J. )
