IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.15708 of 2008 Soshila Devi, wife of Yodha Sahani, village Devapur, PS Patahi, Dist. East Champaran – petitioner. Vs. 1. The State of Bihar, 2. The Director, Fisheries Department, Bihar, Patna. 3. The District Magistrate, East Champaran, Motihari. 4. The District Fisheries Officer-cum- Chief Executive Officer, East Champaran. 5. Patahi Prakhand Matasyajibi Swablambi Sahkari Samiti Ltd. through its Chief Executive Officer, Ramrati Devi, wife of Bunnilal Sah, village Bakhari, PS Patahi, district Motihari – Respondents. 2 9.7.2009 This writ petition has been filed on behalf of the petitioner who is a member of Patahi Prakhand Matasyajibi Swablambi Sahkari Samiti Limited, respondent no. 5. The case of the petitioner is that several jalkars had been settled with him by the Society aforesaid for the years 2005-06 and 2007-08. The petitioner claims that due to the disturbance created by anti social elements she could not reap the harvest and enjoy the benefits of the jalkars which were settled with her and she, therefore, filed a representation before the District Magistrate and the District Fisheries Officer, Motihari. The petitioner is an individual member of a Society and it would, therefore, be the duty of the Society to further her cause and seek remission from the State Government as far as the jalkars settled to the petitioner are concerned. It also appears that the petitioner has at no stage filed any application before the Society or the authorities complaining to them with respect to the disturbance she was facing due to the so called anti social elements and as such it is difficult for this court to direct the Collector or any other authority of 2 the district to examine her grievances. However, it would be open to the petitioner to move the appropriate authority through respondent no.5 for ventilation of her grievances. This writ petition is disposed of with the aforesaid observations. haque (Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
