IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.11215 of 2009 RAMASHRAY PRASAD SINGH, S/O LATE TULSI PRASAD, R/O VILLAGE- ARHIT DAULATPUR, P.S. GHOSI, DISTRICT-JEHANABAD. -PETITIONER Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. SECRETARY, FOOD AND CIVIL SUPPLIES, GOVERNMENT OF BIHAR, PATNA. 3. DISTRICT MAGISTRATE, DISTRICT-JEHANABAD. 4. SUB-DIVISIONAL OFFICER, DISTRICT-JEHANABAD. 5. DISTRICT SUPPLY OFFICER, DISTRICT-JEHANABAD. -RESPONDENTS ******* For the Petitioner : M/s Shakil Ahmad Khan & Sajid Salim Khan For Respondents : Mr. Ritesh Kumar, No.1 to 5 AC to AAG-I 2 01.09.2009 Heard Mr. Shakil Ahmad Khan, for the petitioner, and Mr. Ritesh Kumar, for respondents no.1 to 5. The prayer in this writ petition filed in purported Public Interest is for issuing a writ of mandamus directing the respondents to ensure that the grains / ration under the Antyoday Ann yojana and BPL Scheme are supplied to the eligible beneficiary and for using a further direction to the respondents to prevent seepage or black marketing of food- grains etc. The allegation made in the writ petition is to the 2 effect that there is no proper implementation of the Schemes and there is a lot of pilferage and black marketing. It requires no emphasis to state that all the Schemes are intended for the poorer section of the Society and should be implemented properly. However, it may not be possible for the Courts to go into these matters. Therefore, in the facts and circumstances of the case, without going into the merits of the contentions raised in the writ petition, we permit the present petitioner to make an appropriate representation indicating the necessary details before respondent no.2. If any such representation is made the respondent no.2 is required to consider the same representation and take any appropriate remedial measures including initiation of criminal case, if necessary, in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible. It is made clear that this should not be construed of expressing any opinion in the matter. This disposes of the application. (P.K. Misra, CJ.) (Anjana Prakash, J.) AAhmad 3
