    Case Summary: MJC/3835/2025 The Patna High Court closed a contempt petition filed by Upendra Singh alleging willful disobedience of a July 2025 court order directing land reform officials to resolve his land matter within specified timeframes. The court found the Deputy Collector acted appropriately, but the Circle Officer Madhuban significantly delayed forwarding the file to the Additional Collector—only submitting it on April 13, 2026, after the court's April 10, 2026 order, despite originating action in August 2025. Justice Rajiv Roy exonerated the Circle Officer of contempt as a first offense with a caution, but ordered verification that the file was received and instructed the Deputy Collector to inform all parties of receipt confirmation.
