This

Patna High Court MJC No.185 of 2016 (2) dt.31-08-2016 application is filed complaining that although the opposite parties have not proceeded with any construction but the construction made in the meanwhile have not been removed and thus contempt has been committed by them.

Learned counsel for the State has submitted that there is no such pleading in the writ petition or in the contempt application regarding any construction made by the State and thus there is no issue of removal of any construction. Annexure2 is the representation of the petitioner which again does not discuss any construction standing on the land of the petitioner allegedly made by the State which requires removal. In the circumstance, no cause for indulgence is made out. This contempt application is disposed of accordingly. (Jyoti Saran, J) SKPathak/- U
