Simri Bakhtiyarpur, District Patna. ------ Petitioner. Versus 1. The State of Bihar. 2. The District Collector, Saharsa. 3. The Additional Collector, Saharsa. 4. The Sub-divisional Officer, Simri Bakhtiyarpur, District Saharsa. 5. The Block Supply Officer, Simri Bakhtiyarpur, District Saharsa. 6. The District Supply Officer-cum-Public Information Officer, Saharsa. ------- Respondents. --------- 4 19.12.2011 Nobody appeared for the petitioner on 16.12.2011 when the matter was called out under the heading for admission. Today also nobody appears in this case. This writ application has been filed to direct the Sub-divisional Officer, Simri Bakhtiyarpur, Saharsa or the concerned authorities to approve and issue licence of a Fair Price Shop under the Public Distribution System in favour of the petitioner on the ground that he belongs to the Scheduled Caste. According to the petitioner, vide roster as contained in Annexure-2, the vacancy would be reserved for the Scheduled Caste. A counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of the District Supply Officer, Saharsa in which it has been stated that 2 letter no. 188 dated 19.4.2008 (Annexure-2) was not correct. The government after examining the matter has issued a fresh notification vide memo no. 601 dated 15.2.2007, according to which the vacancy would be for a person belonging to an extremely backward category. Considering the counter affidavit and the notification of the State Government, I do not find any ground to interfere in this matter. This writ application is dismissed. Sanjay (Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
