No. 7316 of 2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.C. to S.C. 21 for respondent no. 1. Nobody appears for respondents no. 2 and 3. The present I.A. has been filed for amending the cause title of the writ petition by substituting the word ‘Administrator’ in place of Managing Director of the Bihar State Agriculture Marketing Board. The said amendment has been necessitated due to the fact that the Bihar State Agricultural Marketing Board Act has been repealed in the year 2006 and the assets and liabilities of the Board have vested in the State Government and the Administrator has been entrusted to look after the assets and liabilities of the erstwhile Board. Further in place at ‘Market Secretary’ the same should be replaced by the ‘Special Officer’ as per the repealing Act. In view of the aforesaid I.A. No. 7316 of 2 2011 is allowed and the words ‘Managing Director’ in the description of respondent no. 2 be substituted by the word ‘Administrator’ and after the word ‘Board’ the words ‘Since dissolved’ be added and similarly the words ‘Market Secretary’ be replaced by the words ‘Special Officer’ in the description of respondent no. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the writ petition has been filed on account of non consideration of the case of the petitioner for allotment of shop under the then Bihar State Agricultural Marketing Board. He submits that the writ petition may be disposed off with liberty to file a fresh representation before the Administrator who may be directed to consider the same in accordance with law within a fixed period of time. Learned counsel for the State does not oppose the prayer. The writ petition is accordingly disposed off with liberty to the petitioner to file a detailed representation before the Administrator of the erstwhile Bihar State Agricultural Marketing Board with regard to his claim for allotment of a shop in the area of Mussallahpur, Patna. If such a representation is filed within six weeks from today alongwith a copy 3 of this order, then the Administrator shall pass a reasoned order in accordance with law upon the same within six weeks thereafter. The writ petition accordingly stands disposed off. Anand Kr. (Ahsanuddin Amanullah, J.)
