IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.9758 of 2007 DEVENDAR CHOUDHARY SON OF LATE ASHRAFI CHOUDHARY RESIDNET OF VILLAGE AND POST KEOTA, P.S. DALSINGSARAI, DISTRICT SAMASTIPUR. Versus 1. BIHAR STATE CO-OPERATIVE LAND DEVELOPMENT BANK LIMITED, PATNA. 2. BRANCH MANAGER, LAND DEVELOPMENT BANK, BRANCH DALSINGSARAI, SAMASTIPUR. 3. DISTRICT MANAGER, BIHAR STATE COOPERATIVE LAND DEVELOPMENT BANK LIMITED, PATNA. ----------- 2 18/02/2010 Petitioner wants relief of waiver from the loan amount which was granted to him in the year 1988. The sum involved is Rs.10,000/-. He is stated to be a poor marginal farmer and taking into consideration that the State was hit by draught for two consecutive years, the department of Co- operative issued letter/communication no. 795 dated 23.5.1992. It envisages granting relief by waiver. The petitioner filed this writ application in the year 2007 seeking relief or enforcement of the said Circular in his favour. Whether a right in favour of the petitioner is there or not is not going to be answered by this Court in absence of any explanation as to why the petitioner is asserting a so called right which accrued in his favour in the year 1992. He has approached High Court after almost 15 years. It is not - 2 - even known whether said Circular now has any meaning left or has any validity because schemes of this kind are always stop gap arrangements relating to the period of difficulties faced by the farmers. If the petitioner can work out the relief from the concerned respondent, he can do so but the Court will not direct the respondents or make any observation in this regard. This writ application is dismissed for obvious laches and delay. AMIN (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
