0 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.4232 of 2011 ----------- Shamim Akhtar, son of Abdul Hadi, resident of Muhalla Chini Mill, Gajadhar Ganj, P.S. Buxar (T), District Buxar. …. Petitioner Versus 1. The State of Bihar through District Certificate Officer, Buxar. 2. Branch Manager of State Bank, Main Road, Buxar, Police Station, Buxar (T), District Buxar. … Respondents ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Rang Nath Choubey, Advocate For the State : Mr. Deepak Kumar, A.C. to G.P. 3 ---- 02/ 27.04.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. 2. This writ petition has been filed by the petitioner challenging order dated 29.12.2010 passed by the Certificate Officer, Buxar in Certificate Case No. 10/2009-10, by which Distress Warrant was directed to be issued against the petitioner. 3. It transpires from the order-sheet that on several occasions notices were sent to the petitioner and on 16.01.2010 the service report was received, but inspite of that when the petitioner did not appear on several dates, the said order was passed. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner had no knowledge or information about the said certificate case nor he had even received the notice sent by the court. 5. Considering the entire facts and circumstances of this case, I am of the view that the petitioner should have appeared in the said certificate case and should have filed an objection under section 2 9 of the Bihar & Orissa Public Demand Recovery Act, 1914 (hereinafter referred to as `the Act’ for the sake of brevity) even through his lawyer, but he has not done that. Furthermore if he wants to challenge the impugned order passed under the Act, a remedy of appeal under section 60 of the Act has been provided. 6. In that view of the matter, this writ petition is disposed of with a liberty to the petitioner to approach the appropriate authorities. MPS/ ( S. N. Hussain, J. )
