IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. WJC No.991 of 2009 BIRENDRA SINGH & ORS Versus STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 5 20.9.2010 Heard the learned counsel for the parties. The motor cycle of the petitioner Bajaj Bouxar bearing No.BR-IR-2997 was admittedly stolen from the Traffic Office,Patna.This Court directed the Superintendent of Police, Traffic, Patna, to quantify the quantum of the compensation. A counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of the Superintendent of Police, Traffic, Patna. He has quantified the compensation receivable by the petitioner in lieu of loss of his motor cycle at Rs.13,500/-. In the earlier counter affidavit filed by the S.P.,Traffic, Patna some police personnels posted in the Traffic police are blamed for the theft. Having heard the learned counsel for the parties, I direct the S.P., Traffic, Patna, to see that compensation is paid to the petitioner preferably within a month from receipt of a copy of this order. It will be open to the S.P., Traffic, to recover the said amount from the negligent police personnel. This Court further observes that in case the petitioner receives his insurance claim he would deposit the proportionate amount with the Traffic police Office, Gandhi Maidan. But for the 2 present, the compensation amount as quantified above, is to be paid to the petitioner, as directed above. Let a copy of this order be handed over to Sri Anil Kumar,G.P.XI.
