IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. WJC No.1126 of 2010 RIT LAL RAI SON OF SHRI RAMASHEESH RAI, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE KOTHWAN, P.O. & P.S. KHAGAUL, DISTRICT- PATNA Versus 1. STATE OF BIHAR 2. THE COLLECTOR, PATNA 3. THE SUBDIVISIONAL OFFICER, DANAPUR-CUM-RETURNING OFFICER, 186 DANAPUR ASSEMBLY CONSTITUENCY 4. JAILOR, PATNA CENTRAL JAIL, BEUR, PATNA ----------- 5 06.12.2010 A supplementary affidavit has been filed on behalf of the petitioner. Heard learned counsels for the petitioner and the State. The prayer of the petitioner is to direct the respondent-authority to transfer the petitioner from Central Jail, Bhagalpur to Patna Central Jail at Beur firstly on the ground that the petitioner is an independent candidate contesting assembly election from Danapur constituency and through supplementary affidavit it is stated that there are good number of cases against the petitioner at Patna and in case he is not produced on the dates the trial would be delayed. Learned counsel for the State submits that so far as the ground of assembly election is concerned, that is no more available with the petitioner as the election is over and second ground that in case petitioner is not produced on the dates fixed in Patna Courts the trial would be delayed is mere apprehension without any foundation. Besides the above, on perusal of the - 2 - Annexure-B to the counter affidavit, it would appear that the order of transfer the petitioner to Central Jail was a temporary measure for a period of six months. Considering the facts and circumstances, as noticed above, I do not find any merit in the writ application and the same accordingly stands dismissed. Manish/- ( Shailesh Kumar Sinha,J.)
