IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. WJC No.959 of 2010 SURESH PRASAD Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 02. 04.03.2011 Heard the parties. A supplementary affidavit has been filed on behalf of the petitioner. The prayer of the petitioner is to direct the respondents to unlock the shop of the petitioner standing over Plot No. 2167 of Khata No. 776 situated at Mohalla Pethiya Bazar under Phulwari Sharif Police Station in the district of Patna and to pay the compensation for unauthorized locking of the shop. A counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of the State refuting the above allegation and stating that the shop, in question, was never locked up by the respondents and as such, the question of opening the lock or paying the compensation does not arise. Since the stated fact is being seriously disputed, the writ court is not appropriate for adjudicating the disputed question of facts. However, it will be open for the petitioner to take appropriate recourse of law. The writ application stands disposed of. Jagdish/ ( Shailesh Kumar Sinha, J.)
