Shambhu Prasad Singh v. The State Of Bihar and Ors.
Case brief
What is this about?
The Bench granted an oral order disposing of a contempt petition filed against the Bihar State Staff Selection Commission. The court held that since the Division Bench had stayed the impugned order, proceeding with the contempt petition was unnecessary and directed the petitioner to approach the Division Bench in pending Letters Patent Appeal before filing a fresh contempt petition if needed.
What did the court decide?
Contempt petition application disposed; liberty granted to file fresh contempt petition post-dismissal of Letters Patent Appeal.
