IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.7510 of 2009 SMT.POONAM SINGH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 03/ 07.08.2009 In the instant application the petitioner prays for directing the respondents particularly the Collector, Patna to issue no objection certificate as sought by the IOC, Patna in respect to plot no. 15 Khata No. 811, Thana No. 35 of Mauza Phulwarisarif, in the District Patna for opening a Retail Outlet (Petroleum Storage Tank) by the petitioner at Phulwari Khagaul Road, District – Patna. The Senior Divisional Manager of the IOC, Patna on 25.02.2008 wrote to the District Magistrate/Collector, Patna seeking no objection certificate for opening the aforesaid retail outlet. Various inquiries made by different officials, namely, the Certificate Officer, the Sub-Divisional Officer, the Executive Engineer or the Assistant Engineer, the Executive Engineer of Road Construction Department New Capital Division No. 2 as well as by the Fire Station Officer, found favour for giving no objection certificate. The petitioner has also paid the due cost for using the approach 2 road to the Road Construction Department and most of the formalities have been completed. There does not seem apparently any reason as to why no objection is not issued in favour of the IOCL. In the facts and circumstances, the District Magistrate/Collector Patna would take a decision in this regard within three weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this order. Accordingly, this application is disposed of. kundan (S. P. Singh, J.)
