We find that Director General has considered the case of the petitioner as the reasons indicated therein has rejected the
Patna High Court MJC No.909 of 2018 (3) dt.17-04-2018 claim. That being the position merely because consideration has not been made to comparison to various other candidates, we see not reason to initiate action for contempt in the matter with regard to the manner in which the consideration has been made. Petitioner may challenge the same afresh in accordance with law but on such consideration we are not inclined to initiate action for contempt.
This application is disposed off.
