IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.13608 of 2011 Md. Nazir Hussain, S/O Lal Mohammad, R/O Vill. Haji Jabbu Tola, P.S. Amdabad, Distt. Katihar. . . . . . Petitioner. Versus 1. The State of Bihar. 2. The District Magistrate, Katihar, Distt.-Katihar. 3. The Deputy Development Commissioner, Katihar, Distt.-Katihar. 4. The Block Development Officer, Amdabad, Distt.-Katihar. 5. The Block Supply Officer, Manihari Cum Amdabad, Distt. Katihar. 6. The Block Programme Officer (Manrega), Amdabad, Katihar. . . . . . Respondents. ---------------------------------- 2 08.09.2011 The petitioner is a P.D.S. dealer under Amdabad Block in the district of Katihar. The petitioner seeks quashing of the order dated 11.07.2011 issued by the Block Supply Officer, Manihari cum Amdaba whereby he has been directed to return the value of undistributed rice at APL rate i.e. 1370 per quintals. The petitioner submits that the notice does not specify the quantity of rice either allotted to him or the quantity which has remained undistributed with him. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I find that the impugned order is vague, as it does not specify either the quantity of rice that was allotted or the quantity of rice that would still remain with the petitioner. As such, the impugned order dated 11.07.2011 is set aside with a direction to the Block Supply Officer, Manihari cum Ambadbad, Katihar to issue fresh notice specifying the quantity of rice that would remain undistributed with the petitioner within four weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. Till then, no coercive steps would be taken against the petitioner. With the aforesaid observations and directions, this writ 2 petition stands disposed of. Let a copy of this order be transmitted to the Block Supply Officer, Manihari cum Ambadbad, Katihar. Uday/ ((Samarendra Pratap Singh, J.)
