Sakri, District Madhubani at present resided at Lakshmisagar, in the town and District Darbhanga … Petitioner Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR, through Secretary, Department of Transport, Govt. of Bihar, Patna 2. The Transport Commissioner, Govt. of Bihar, Patna 3. The District Transport Officer, Darbhanga … Respondents ----------- 2. 23.4.2010 Heard Mr. Badri Narayan Singh, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. Sachin Kumar, learned counsel for the State. In this petition preferred under Article 226 of the Constitution of India the petitioner has prayed for issue of a writ of certiorari for quashment of the order dated 20th March, 2010 whereby the District Transport Officer has fastened the liability of Rs. 6,70,695/- including the penalty on the petitioner and declined to issue tax token. It is not disputed before us unless dues are paid tax token cannot be issued. On a perusal of the scheme of Bihar Motor Vehicle Taxation Act, 1994 we find that there is a provision for appeal as engrafted under section 26 of the said Act. 2 In view of aforesaid, we are only inclined to direct if the petitioner files an appeal within two weeks from today, the appellate authority shall be well advised to dispose of the same within two weeks. The appellate authority shall consider all the contentions to be raised by the petitioner and pass a speaking order so that the superior forum can appropriately appreciate the same. Needless to emphasize the contentions which we say would include any proponent advanced in law. The writ petition is, accordingly, disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. A free copy of the order be handed over to Mr. Sachin Kumar, learned counsel for the State, to do the needful in the matter. (Dipak Misra,C.J.) (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/
