Summary: The petitioner, Kamal Narayan Jha, filed a contempt petition against Central Bank of India and its officials (Chairman P.V. Rao and Chief Manager S.R. Das) alleging contempt related to a writ disposed on 28‑02‑2018. The Patna High Court, presided by Justice G. Anupama Chakravarthy, held that the petition was filed beyond the one‑year limitation prescribed under Section 20 of the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971, and therefore dismissed it as non‑maintainable, while allowing the petitioner to challenge subsequent orders of the opposite parties.
