Miscellaneous Jurisdiction Case No.3784 of 2010 ====================================================== MD. RAFAT ALI ... ... Petitioner/s

Versus

THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS.

... ... Respondent/s ====================================================== Appearance :

For the Petitioner/s :

Mr. R.N. MUKHOPADHAYA For the Respondent/s :

Mr. (SC15) ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE ORAL ORDER 15-09-2017 This application has been filed for initiating action for contempt on account of non-compliance of the order passed on 08.01.2010.

When the matter was taken up for consideration seven years back on 10.12.2010, it was informed to this Court that SLP No.2954 of 2010 is pending and, therefore, the case was directed to be listed after disposal of the aforesaid SLP. Today, after a period of more than seven years, neither counsel for the parties are present nor is there any information with regard to disposal of SLP No.2954 of 2010.

Keeping in view the aforesaid, I see no reason to keep the matter pending or initiate action for contempt now after a period of seven years of the order passed in the year 2010. In case, the SLP has been disposed of and after disposal of the SLP, the applicant has any grievance still subsisting, he is granted liberty

Patna High Court MJC No.3784 of 2010(3) dt.15-09-2017 2/2 to initiate fresh proceedings in accordance with law. In view of the aforesaid, finding no case made out for keeping the matter pending or proceeding with the contempt, the application stands disposed of.
