IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.5517 of 2009 SMT.PAWANA JHA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2 2.12.2009 After having heard learned counsel for the parties the dispute now boils down to one issue in terms of section 42(a) of Bihar Public Demand Recovery Act that no warrant of arrest can be issued against the petitioner who happens to be a lady. This was the background under which the Court stayed the distress warrant issued earlier against the petitioner. Counter affidavit has now been filed on behalf of the respondent. What emerges from same is that the objection under section 9 of the Act is yet to be decided by the Certificate Officer. Objection is still pending final disposal. If that be so, let the Certificate Officer decide the objection of the petitioner. Till the decision is rendered no coercive action will be taken against the petitioner. This writ application is disposed of without expressing any opinion on the merit of the case or the claim of the certificate holder. RPS (Ajay Kumar Tripathi,J.)
