Summary
Kanak Lata Singh, an assistant teacher, filed an application before the Patna High Court seeking initiation of contempt proceedings against the State of Bihar and several education officials, alleging wilful violation and deliberate negligence of an earlier order dated 08-04-2017 issued by Justice Dinesh Kumar Singh in C.W.J.C. No.18496/2011. The petition alleged that the opposite parties had failed to comply with the directions of that order. The court heard the matter on 23-04-2026.
