AC to AAG - 12 ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR ORAL ORDER 6.

31-10-2018 The present petition was filed for initiating contempt proceeding against opposite parties on an allegation of wilfull disobedience to an order dated 27-01-2017 passed in C.W.J.C. No. 336 of 2015.

Sri Prabhat Kumar Singh, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the order of the writ court has not been complied with in its letter and spirit. He tried to persuade the Court that though, in view of order of the writ court, representation of the petitioner was disposed of, vide Annexure - A to the show cause, same has been passed in perfunctory manner without examining any record.

Patna High Court MJC No.1808 of 2017(6) dt.31-10-2018 2/2 Learned A.C. to Addl. Advocate General - 12, by way of referring to show cause as well as Annexure - A to the show cause, submits that the authority concerned, in compliance with the order of the writ court, has passed a reasoned order. Besides hearing, I have also examined the material on record, particularly Annexure-A to the show cause filed on behalf of opposite party no. 4. Since, there was only direction in the writ petition to examine the representation and take final decision, which has already been taken, in contempt jurisdiction, it would be difficult for me to examine the correctness of the order i.e. Annexure-A to the show cause. If the petitioner feels aggrieved with the order i.e. Annexure-A to the show cause, he would be at liberty to avail appropriate remedy.

The contempt petition stands disposed of.
