IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.6994 of 2006 DEO NANDAN PRASAD YADAV Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 7. 30.1.2009 In view of the fact that the period of settlement of Sonmanki Ghat being 1.4.2006 to 31.3.2007 has already been completed, the prayer made by the petitioner either for settlement of the said Ghat or assailing the order directing him to seek refund has definitely become infructuous by efflux of time. That being so, this application is dismissed as having become infructuous. The dismissal of this application, however, will not mean that the bid amount deposited by the petitioner will not be refunded to him. Mr. Manu Shankar Mishra, learned counsel appearing on behalf of respondent no.2, in fact informs this Court that if the petitioner approaches for this purpose, the amount will be refunded.
