Heard the learned Advocates. This is a petition in Public Interest filed by a practising Advocate. It is the complaint of the petitioner that the State Government has failed to perform its duty in providing District Consumer Forum, Saran at Chapra. In response, the State Government has filed counter affidavit. It is stated that under the Notification dated 17th August 2010 the State Government has appointed the Chairman for the District Consumer Forum, Saran at Chapra. It is, however, conceded that the Forum has not become functional as the Chairman has not been provided infrastructural facilities. Learned A.C. to G.A. I Mr Alok Kumar states that within four weeks from today the Forum will be made fully functional. In above view of the matter, we direct that the State Government will make necessary appointments and make the District Consumer Forum, Saran at Chapra fully functional as early as possible but not beyond the period of four weeks from today. Subject to the above direction, the petition is disposed of. Dilip ( R.M. Doshit, CJ ) ( Jyoti Saran, J )
