Amanullah, SC XVII --- 2 18/3/2010 In this public interest litigation the grievance that has been agitated by the Bihar Fair Price Dealers’ Association for the district Sheohar is that the people who have obtained cards of Below Poverty Line (BPL) are not being supplied the kerosene oil by the respondent no.6 though he is a wholesale dealer for kerosene oil meant for people of BPL. Keeping in view the aforesaid stand and having heard Mr. S.D. Sanjay, learned counsel for the 2 petitioner, and Mr. A. Amanullah, learned counsel for the State, we are only inclined to direct the respondent no.2, the Principal Secretary, Department of Food, Commercial & Civil Supplies, Government of Bihar, Patna, to cause an enquiry only to the extent whether the BPL card holders are getting their quota of kerosene oil or not. We have only directed in this regard inasmuch as that is the only public interest which we have perceived to be taken care of. With the aforesaid direction, the writ petition stands disposed of.
