IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.16113 of 2004 MOJEEBUR RAHMAN SON OF LATE HAFIZ ABDUL GHAFOOR, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE, P.O. & P.S. MANPUR, DISTRICT SITAMARHI. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 4 09/08/2010 Shorn of other details and submissions made at the Bar with regard to the order of punishment passed against the petitioner, one submission made by the learned counsel merits consideration straightway. Order passed in appeal dated 5.6.2007 contained in Annexure-10 brought on record through I.A. No. 6524 of 2007 is a non speaking order. It only states that the memorandum of appeal was considered and it was rejected on due consideration. What was the reason or the basis for such a rejection is not even discussed or talked about. It is a mechanical order without application of mind on the face of record. I.A. No. 6524 of 2007 is allowed. Annexure-10 is hereby quashed. Matter is remanded back to the appellate authority to pass a fresh order giving reasons for such a rejection of the appeal of the petitioner. This writ application stands disposed of. AMIN (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
