Patna High Court MJC No.1169 of 2020 dt.07-05-2024 2/2 However, scope of contempt petition is only to the extent whether the concerned respondent has complied the directions of this Court to the extent of considering the petitioner's representation or not?
2. Accordingly, the present MJC contempt petition stands dropped with litigation cost at Rs.5,000/- Cost shall be paid to the petitioner for belated compliance.

Either of these remedies have been invoked, on the other hand, the concerned authority proceeded to sleep over the matter for four years without there being any explanation.
