JUSTICE RAJESH SHANKAR -------- For the Petitioner(s) : Mr. Mritunjay Chaudhary, Advocate For the Opp.Parties : Mr. Shrey Mishra, A.C to A.G. Order No. 04 Dated 01.05.2026 The present contempt petition has been filed for initiating a contempt proceeding against the opposite parties, particularly against opposite party No.2 for willful disobedience of the order dated 11.10.2022 passed by this Court in W.P.(C) No. 2085 of 2022. This Court vide order dated 11.10.2022 disposed of the aforesaid writ petition in the following terms: - “Having heard learned counsel for the parties and keeping in view the nature of the prayer made in the present writ petition, without entering into the merit of the case, the petitioner is given liberty to prefer a fresh representation on the present issue before the respondent No.2. On receipt of such representation, the respondent No.2, after calling for the relevant records and verifying the same as well as on providing an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner’s representative, shall take an appropriate informed decision in accordance with law within ten weeks from the date of filing of the said representation. The present writ petition is accordingly disposed of with the aforesaid liberty and direction.” Mr. Shrey Mishra, learned A.C to A.G refers to paras 12 & 13 of the show-cause affidavit filed on behalf of opposite party No.2, which read as under: - “12. In terms of the aforesaid order as contained in Memo No.100, dated 05.01.2024, the petitioner claims have duly been examined and the admitted dues of Rs.52,80,642.00/- (Rupees Fifty-Two Lakhs Eighty Thousand and Six Hundred Forty-Two only) has been paid to the petitioner. 13. As per the report of the District Agriculture Officer, West Singhbhum, a sum of Rs. 47,61,941/- is payable to M/s. Rohini Biotech towards liabilities under the TRFA-Oilseed scheme for the financial year 2017-18. The said payment could not be effected due to non-availability of funds. Since the scheme is a Centrally Sponsored Scheme, release of funds from the Government of India is requisite for liquidation of the aforesaid liability. Accordingly, a request has been made to the Government of India for release of requisite funds for settlement of the said dues; alternatively, approval has been sought to meet the liability from the allocation of the current financial year 2026-27.” It is submitted by Mr. Shrey Mishra, learned A.C to A.G. that the admitted payment in compliance of the order dated 11.10.2022 passed in W.P.(C) No.2085 of 2022 has already been made to the petitioner and hence, the said order has now been complied. Learned counsel for the petitioner, however, draws attention of this Court towards Para-13 of the show-cause affidavit and submits that though an amount of Rs. 47,61,941/- has been found payable to the petitioner, the same has been made, conditional upon the release of the funds by the Government of India. Be that as it may. Since the admitted payment with regard to the petitioner’s claim has already been made, there is no need to further proceed in the contempt petition. The contempt proceeding as against opposite party No.2 is dropped. The contempt petition is accordingly, disposed of. The petitioner is, however, at liberty to take appropriate recourse as available under the law for redressal of its subsistence grievance. (Rajesh Shankar, J.) Dated 01/05/2026 BS/- Uploaded
