Holding
The petition was disposed of, with the Court granting the petitioner liberty to agitate the matter further but not ordering contempt proceedings.
Summary
Lallan Prasad filed a petition seeking contempt proceedings against several officials of the Bihar government for allegedly violating an order dated 21‑10‑2014 passed in CWJC No.13056 of 2010. The opposite parties filed a show‑cause notice and the State counsel submitted an annexure indicating that the petitioner’s claim had been rejected by the Regional Deputy Director of Education, Saran Division, through memo no. 183 dated 26‑02‑2020. The Patna High Court, after hearing the parties, granted the petitioner liberty to agitate the matter further if he wishes, but did not order any contempt proceedings. Consequently, the petition was disposed of. The order reflects the Court’s discretion to allow further agitation while declining to entertain a contempt application at this stage.
Issues considered
- Whether the petitioner is entitled to contempt proceedings against the opposite parties for alleged violation of the order dated 21‑10‑2014.
