THE STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH COLLECTOR, GAYA 2. THE COLLECTOR - DISTRICT MAGISTRATE, GAYA ………………………… RESPONDENTS 02. 05.03.2010 Pendency of the writ application frustrates part of the prayer of the petitioner made in the writ application, which was for restraining the Collector from selling the seized quantity of wheat in Confiscation Case No. 14 of 2007. Counsel for the petitioner informs this Court that the confiscation proceeding itself has not concluded, which arose out of Bodh Gaya P. S. Case No. 80 of 2007. Since the wheat have already been sold, then it will be in the interest of the petitioner now to pursue the matter and take the confiscation case to its logical conclusion. Outcome of the confiscation case will decide the future course of action. The Collector, Gaya would be well advised to expedite the hearing and decision of the said confiscation case within a reasonable timeframe. The writ is disposed of with the aforesaid observations. skm ( Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.) -----------
