Holding
The contempt petition was dismissed as the order dated 8 September 2023 had been complied with.
Summary
The petitioner, Braj Kishore Prasad, filed a contempt petition before the Patna High Court seeking relief on the basis that an earlier order dated 8 September 2023 in Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No. 16319 of 2015 had not been complied with. The petitioner’s counsel submitted that the order had in fact been fully complied with by the respondents, which include the State of Bihar and several district officials. The Court examined the submission and found no basis to continue the contempt proceedings. Consequently, the Court held that the petition was no longer maintainable. The petition was therefore disposed of, with the contempt petition dismissed as moot.
