IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.5573 of 2006 Shri Ram Goenka, son of Shri Kesar Das Goenka, resident of Mohalla Gola Road, P.S. Samastipur Town, District Samastipur. … Petitioner versus 1. The State Of Bihar 2. Divisional Commissioner, Darbhanga 3. Collector, Samastipur 4. The Bihar State Electricity Board, Vidyut Bhawan, Bailey Road, Patna through Assistant Engineer, Electric Supply Sub- Division, Samastipur 5. Certificate Officer, Bihar State Electricity Board, Mithila Area Lal Bagh, Darbhanga …Respondents --------------------------------- For the Petitioner : Mr. Naresh Chandra Verma,Advocate For the State : Mr. Ravi Verma, A.C. to G.P. 12 For the BSEB : Mr. Vinay Kirti Singh, Advocate -------------------------------- 03/ 24.11.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the respondents. 2. This writ petition has been filed by the petitioner challenging order dated 24.04.2003 (Annexure 1), by which the Divisional Commissioner, Darbhanga (respondent no.2) dismissed the petitioner’s Certificate Revision Case No. 16 of 2001-02. It is not in dispute that the petitioner was aggrieved by order of the Collector passed in Appeal No. 388 of 2000 and hence he filed the said revision. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that since the revision was filed only on the ground of maintainability of the certificate case, no certificate amount of 40% could be levied upon him. However, the revision is provided under section 62 of the Bihar & Orissa Public Demand Recovery Act, 1914 and the law provides that for filing such a revision 40% amount has to be deposited. No 2 distinction is made in the Statute with respect to the nature of revision or the claim made therein. In the said circumstances, the petitioner was bound to deposit 40% of the amount, but since the petitioner failed to deposit the said amount, the Divisional Commissioner was fully justified in passing the said order. 4. This Court does not find any illegality in the impugned order of the authority concerned and, accordingly, this writ petition is dismissed. MPS/ ( S. N. Hussain, J.)
