IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.2000 of 2008 NEW SINGER FISHERMAN SELF-SUPPORTING CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETIES LTD. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 02/ 21.7.2008 Heard learned counsel for the parties. The reservoir in question has been settled with private Respondent No.7 as he was the highest bidder in the light of the circular of the State Government issued by the Water Resources Department for an amount which is higher than the minimum amount fixed thereunder. Counsel for the petitioner, however, assails such settlement on the ground that in terms of the circular dated 13.2.1997, the settlement has to be approved by the State Government, but in the present case, the same has been approved by the Superintending Engineer. The point of approval may be agitated by the petitioner by filing representation before the Government, which may be considered and disposed of in accordance with law, as early as possible, in any case within one month from the date of receipt of the representation. This writ application is, accordingly, disposed of. Arjun/ (V.N. Sinha, J.)
