IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA
MJC No.279 of 2011
Narendra Kumar
Versus
The State Of Bihar & Ors.
-----------
3. 06.07.2011 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned
Counsel for the opposite parties.
Opposite party nos. 2 and 3 are present. Learned Counsel for
the State regrets absence on an application for exemption on behalf of
Opposite party no. 1. The Court expects the Opposite party no. 1 to be
more careful in future with regard to Court proceedings.
The earlier show cause filed by the Opposite party nos. 1 to 3
was found to be wholly wanting when their personal appearance came
to be directed.
Today fresh show cause has been filed on behalf of opposite
party no. 3. It is submitted from paragraphs 8, 9 & 10 that the
grievances of the petitioner have been redressed and a sum of Rs.
1,98,266/- has been paid to him on 18.6.2011 and 22.6.2011. His first
time bound promotion has been restored and entries made in his
service book accordingly on 28.6.2011.
It is more than apparent that the opposite parties after the order
of the Court dated 11.5.2011 feeling heat of the contempt proceeding
realized that they had no option but to honour the orders of the Court.
The situation is unfortunate.
The Court today itself in MJC no. 137 of 2011 has observed a
similar conduct. The Court expects the Chief Secretary to now consider
that the previous order was not a stray incident but only symptomatic as
noticed therein reflected in the present application also.
The contempt proceeding stands disposed.
