Patna High Court MJC No.3298 of 2014 (3) dt.07-07-2017 2/2 Taking note of all these factors, I see no reason to initiate any action after such a long period of time. In case, the petitioner has any grievance still subsisting in the matter, liberty shall be available to the petitioner to initiate fresh proceedings in accordance with law.

Finding no case for initiating action for contempt, the application stands disposed of.
