Summary
Petitioner Ruplata filed a contempt petition seeking initiation of contempt proceedings against the State of Bihar and officials for alleged willful disobedience of an order dated 26‑06‑2013 in MJC No.2775 of 2013. The court noted that a show‑cause notice had been issued and that the opposite parties had passed an order on 02‑08‑2019. The court granted the petitioner liberty to raise any further grievance if it still existed, and consequently dismissed the contempt petition. No substantive finding on contempt was made. The matter was therefore disposed without further proceedings.
