IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.4161 of 2009 BAIDYA NATH SINGH, son of late Hirdya Singh, resident of village Jagatpur (Tole Devi Rai), P.O. Jagatpur, P.S. Basantpur, District Siwan … Petitioner Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. Sri Bala Murgandi, District Magistrate, Siwan … Opp.Party. ----------- 2. 23.3.2011 No one appears for the petitioner. Counsel for the State is also not present. In view of the fact that the Collector of Patna District has taken a decision to grant licence for rifle to Mritunjay Kumar Singh, as has been recorded separately in an order passed in M.J.C.No. 2755/2009, this Court would direct the Collector of Patna District to reconsider the case of the petitioner herein for grant of a licence of rifle to this petitioner, inasmuch as almost for the same reason the same authority, namely, Collector of Patna District had refused to grant licence to Mritunjay Kumar Singh, the petitioner in M.J.C.No. 2755/2009. It is expected that the Collector of Patna District shall maintain the same yardstick while passing his quasi judicial orders. 2 With the aforementioned observation, this application is disposed of.
