Mr. Raj Ballabh Prasad Yadav- AAG 11 ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE and HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAJEEV RANJAN PRASAD ORAL JUDGMENT (Per: HONOURABLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE) Date : 10-04-2018 This L.P.A. filed under Clause X of the Letters Patent has been filed against an order dated 4.9.2016 passed in M.J.C. No.682 of 2015 which was filed for initiating action for contempt under Article 215 read with 12 of the Contempt of Court Act and the M.J.C. has been disposed of in the following terms: "In view of ratio of the decision rendered in the case of the State of Bihar & ors. v. Bimli Devi, reported in 2016(1) PLJR 452, this contempt application is disposed of."
Patna High Court LPA No.2196 of 2016 dt.10-04-2018 2/2 Meaning thereby, the learned Writ Court did not deem it appropriate to initiate action for contempt. Once in a contempt proceeding, learned Court has not taken any action, a Letters Patent Appeal is not maintainable.
In view of the above, the appeal is misconceived and is, therefore, dismissed.
