Holding
The contempt application is disposed of as the payment has been made and no further order is required.
Summary
Petitioner Rama Shankar Singh filed a contempt application alleging that the State of Bihar had failed to comply with the order dated 5 September 2017 issued by a coordinate bench of the Patna High Court in Letters Patent Appeal No. 10 of 2008. The respondent filed a show‑cause notice, to which it submitted that the disputed payment had already been made and attached an undertaking confirming receipt of the payment. The court examined the show‑cause response and the accompanying annexure, finding that the payment was indeed effected. Consequently, the court held that no further direction was necessary and disposed of the contempt application. All pending applications, if any, were also ordered to stand disposed.
Issues considered
- Whether the respondent is in contempt for alleged non‑compliance of the 5 September 2017 order
