08/05.02.2024     All these contempt applications are being taken up together for

consideration with the consent of learned counsel for the parties.

All these contempt applications have been filed against the concerned

opposite parties alleging wilful disobedience and non-compliance of the

judgment dated 05.09.2018 passed by this Court in batch of writ petitions led by

W.P.(S) No. 921/2011 [Bal Mohan Prasad & Ors. Vs. State of Jharkhand & Ors.].

Learned counsel for the concerned opposite parties of the present batch

of contempt applications submit that the judgment dated 05.09.2018 passed by

this Court in batch of writ petitions led by W.P.(S) No. 921/2011 was challenged

by the State of Jharkhand by preferring batch of L.P.As led by L.P.A. No.

138/2019 (State of Jharkhand & Ors. Vs. Bal Mohan Prasad & Ors.). The said

L.P.As were finally allowed by learned Division Bench of this Court vide

judgment dated 19.01.2024, except the cases which have been mentioned in

paragraph 32 of the said judgment and the present petitioners do not come

under the purview of the said paragraph.

Having heard learned counsel for the parties and considering that L.P.A.

No. 138/2019 preferred by the State of Jharkhand challenging the judgment

dated 05.09.2018 passed by the writ Court in batch of writ petitions led by

W.P.(S) No. 921/2011, have been allowed by learned Division Bench, this Court

is of the view that no case of contempt is made out against the concerned

opposite parties.

The contempt proceeding against the concerned opposite parties is

hereby dropped.

All these contempt applications stand disposed of.
