Respondents. ---------------------------------- 2/ 27.09.2011 The petitioner, who is a P.D.S. dealer within Dumraon Block in the district of Buxar, prays for quashing the letter no.1477 dated 28.06.2011, issued under the signature of Block Development Officer, Dumraon, whereby he has been directed to deposit the value of undistributed rice to the tune of 729.47 quintals. The petitioner submits that only 448.67 quintals of rice remains in his stock. Earlier similar matters had come up before this Court in C.W.J.C. No. 711 of 2011 (Awadh Prasad Singh Vs. The State of Bihar & Ors.) & C.W.J.C. No. 757 of 2011 (Suresh Prasad @ Raj Kumar Vs. The State of Bihar & Ors.). The aforesaid writ applications have been disposed of by order dated 06.07.2011 after noticing the submissions of learned counsel for the parties. As the facts and issues are common, the order dated 06.07.2011 passed in C.W.J.C. No. 711 of 2011 and C.W.J.C. No. 757 of 2011 would also govern the instant writ petition. The writ petition is disposed of in terms of the order dated 06.07.2011 passed in C.W.J.C. No. 711 of 2011 and C.W.J.C. No. 757 of 2011 including interim protection as 2 mentioned therein, with the condition that the petitioner would either deposit 15% of the value of undistributed rice to the tune of 448.67 quintals at Rs.10 per Kg. or the rice itself, if already not deposited within two months. I have not expressed any opinion regarding the undistributed rice. No coercive steps would be taken against the petitioner. Uday/ (Samarendra Pratap Singh, J.)
