Disposal
DISMISSED

Holding

The court held that no ground exists to grant a review of the order dated 09.08.2024.

Summary

The State of Bihar and related education officials filed a contempt application, which led to an order dated 09.08.2024 in Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.15941 of 2015. The contemnor subsequently filed a review application challenging that order. The petitioners, represented by Mr. Sita Ram Yadav and Mr. Jitendra Kumar, sought to overturn the contempt order, while the opposite party was represented by Mr. Ram Sagar Singh. The Patna High Court examined whether any valid grounds existed for a review of the earlier order. The court found no such grounds and consequently dismissed the review application. The dismissal upheld the original contempt order.
