RESPONDENTS. ----------- 3. 27.10.2009. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the counsel for the State. Petitioner was earlier settled 12000 sft. in the eastern part of Gandhi Maidan for the period between 15.10.2009 till 31.12.2009. Said settlement has been partially cancelled by the Additional Collector under order dated 3.10.2009 (Annexure-1) on the ground that the Gandhi Maidan is required during the period between 15.10.2009 till 31.12.2009 for the purposes of organizing the teachers’ day and the Indian Road Congress. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that the teachers’ day was held on 5th September which is already over before - 2 - the issue of the impugned order and for organizing Indian Road Congress the authorities have settled only 10,00,000 sft. Under memo no.2646 dated 7.10.2009, which is Annexure-3 to the supplementary affidavit filed today. With reference to the aforesaid order dated 7.10.2009 (Annexure-3), it is submitted that the authorities may reconsider their decision to cancel the settlement of the petitioner contained in order dated 3.10.2009 and allow the petitioner to continue with his settlement for the period from 15.10.2009 to 31.12.2009 as the area settled with the petitioner is very small and situate in such part of the Gandhi Maindan, which is not to be used for the purpose of holding the Indian Road Congress. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State, I direct the petitioner to represent before the District Magistrate, Patna so as to permit him to continue with his settlement for the entire period between 15.10.2009 till 31.12.2009 as the area required for holding the Indian Road Congress is much less and situate in the - 3 - N.H./ other part of the Gandhi Maindan far away from the settlement of the petitioner. The representation of the petitioner filed in the light of this order be considered by the Collector as early as possible in any case within one week from the date of its receipt. This writ application is, accordingly, disposed of. Let this order be communicated to the Collector, Patna through fax on payment of usual charges by the petitioner. ( V.N. Sinha,J.)
