IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.10296 of 2008 RAGHUBIR SINGH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 04 02.08.2010 Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that his claims are covered by an order of this Court in L.P.A. No. 1492 of 2009 and analogous cases. Learned counsel for the State rightly submits that it remains a question of fact to be examined whether the petitioner was similarly situated or not. This application is disposed off with the observation that if the petitioner represents that he is covered by any order of this Court, the authorities shall appropriately examine the same and if they find that he is similarly situated shall accord him similar treatment, it is expected that without requiring him to obtain individual orders from the Court. It is made clear that the liberty of the authorities to opine with reasons that the petitioner is not similarly situated and not covered by any decision of this Court remains unfettered, but it is only observed that any such decision has to be supported by reasons. It is expected that the authorities shall consider the matter expeditiously preferably within a maximum period of six weeks from the date of 2 receipt/production of a copy of this order. The application stands disposed. P.K. (Navin Sinha, J.)
