Judgement

R.K. Merathia, J.@mdashIt is submitted by Mr. Nanda, learned Counsel appearing for the Petitioner that though the concerned

RespondentDirector, Primary Education, Jharkhand, Ranchi, has taken a fresh decision in terms of the order in question but such decision is wrong

and moreover the time was given for taking such decision within three months but it was taken after more than one and half years.

2. On the other hand, Mr. Rajesh Shankar, learned Counsel for the State referring to the show cause submitted that a thorough enquiry was made,

which took some time and the Petitioner was also given opportunity of hearing on 22/05/2010 and, therefore there was delay in complying the

order in question, which may be condoned.

3. Thus, it appears that the order has been complied by taking a fresh decision though much beyond the time limit, which has been sought to be

justified.

4. In the circumstances, this contempt case is dropped with liberty to the Petitioner to avail appropriate remedy as may be available to him under

the law, against the order dated 11/06/2011, passed by the Director, Primary Education, Ranchi, Jharkhand, contained in AnnexureA to the Show

Cause.
