Sri Awanindra Kumar Sinha, son of Dr. Jawaharlal, resident of Nalanda Colony, Bariyatu, Ranchi …… Respondents ----------- 02- 2.2.2009 Heard Mr. Laxmi Narain Das for the petitioner and Mr. Girijesh Kumar, learned counsel for Bihar State Financial Corporation. This writ petition is directed against the order dated 30.12.2008 (Annexure 9), passed by the Managing Director of the respondent Corporation in Case No.313/2002 (M/s Quality Paper (P) Ltd., Fatwah), whereby he has directed that certificate proceedings may be initiated for recovery of the dues from M/s Quality Paper (p) Ltd., Fatwah, and others including the present petitioner. The petitioner raises a grievance before this Court that he was a Director of the Company, had submitted his resignation, and has withdrawn from its affairs, way back in 1992. He further submits that the Corporation is free to realize the dues from the assets of the Company rather than - 2 - harassing the petitioner. Learned counsel for the Corporation has opposed the writ petition. 2. We have perused the materials on records and considered the submissions of learned counsel for the parties. It appears to me that by the impugned order it has been directed that the certificate proceeding may be initiated. Therefore, it will be open to the petitioner to file his objection denying his liability in terms of Section 9 of the Bihar & Orissa Public Demands Recovery Act 1914. 3. With these observations this writ petition is dismissed. ( S K Katriar ) mrl
