Summary
The petitioner, Ram Udgar Mahto, filed a contempt petition seeking initiation of contempt proceedings against the State of Bihar for alleged wilful disobedience of an order dated 28‑09‑2016 passed in C.W.J.C. No.2660/2014. The petitioner’s counsel, on instruction from Anuj Kumar, later submitted that the order had been complied with and therefore requested the withdrawal of the petition. The court considered whether the petition should proceed in view of the alleged compliance. Since the petitioner voluntarily sought to withdraw the petition, the court disposed of the contempt petition as withdrawn. No further directions or penalties were imposed.

- Whether the petitioner is entitled to continue contempt proceedings against the State for alleged non‑compliance of the order dated 28‑09‑2016?
