Petitioner is challenging the order dated 5th February 2011 by which the court below has rejected Misc. CaseNo.5 of 2002. In the aforesaid Misc. case, petitioner has raised grievance that the amendment petition dated 12th August 1997 Patna High Court CWJC No.8276 of 2011 (8) dt.05-03-2012 does not bear the signature of Singheshwar Tiwary and Ashosk Tripathy and the same has been impersonated by the other person and the proceeding under [STATUTE] may be initiated. On the other hand, other side has filed a rejoinder stating that affidavit portion of amendment petition bears their signature, accordingly, the signature has been accepted on affidavit and the court below accepted the explanation. I do not find any merit in the present petition. It is accordingly, dismissed. However, as the case is of the year 1989, it is expected that the court below will conclude it within a period of 6 months from the date of receipt/production of copy of this order. It is also submitted that the petitioner will not take any unnecessary adjournment in the court below. Jay/- (Shivaji Pandey, J)
