IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.4048 of 2009 DR. DHARM PRAKASH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS. ----------- 3 28-7-2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel appearing for Patna University. On going through the order of the University contained in annexure-13 dated 29-12-2009, it is found that the order which had adversely affected petitioner’s continuation as Head of Department of Chemistry , Patna University was issued in purported compliance of a policy decision issued from the office of the Chancellor on 30th June, 2008. According to learned counsel for the University the said policy decision was discriminately and mala fide applied against the petitioner only with a view that he should not function as Head of the Department of Chemistry whereas such policy decision was not applied in the case of several other Head of the Departments of the University. In view of aforesaid submission, the order contained in annexure-13 may be liable to be challenged, but since the said order has been passed entirely in a different 2 context on the basis of an existing policy decision, it would not amount to a deliberate dis-regard of the interim order passed by the Court whereby as a fact this court had stayed another order removing the petitioner from the post of Head of Department of Chemistry. In the facts of the case this court is not persuaded to proceed with this contempt matter. It is finally disposed of. Naresh ( Shiva Kirti Singh, J.)
