IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.3456 of 2008 RAMRATAN SINGH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 5 10.11.2010 The petitioner has made prayer in this writ application that his representation for settling the jalkar in question for a period of five years should be disposed of . It is submitted that though the petitioner was the highest bidder for the year 2007-2008 for the settlement of the ponds in question for a period of five years yet the settlement was not made in his favour. Obviously since the settlement has not been made in favour of the petitioner, now this Court only can direct the concerned authority to follow the provisions of the law framed with respect to the settlement of Jalkars before making any settlement. Prayer in this writ application is for disposal of the representation cannot be maintained in view of the fact that the settlements, are to be made after following proper procedures, such as advertisement etc. and calling upon the society to place their bids for the settlement of the Jalkars in question. 2 I find no merit in this writ application. This writ application is accordingly, dismissed. Anilkr.sinha ( Sheema Ali Khan,J.)
