Puri, Patna. -Respondents. ----------- 19 03.11.2010 Inspite of undue indulgence granted by this Court for an amicable settlement and inspite of efforts made by learned counsels appearing for the parties, no full settlement appears to be possible. This Court would not like to go into these issues because these issues primarily are matters of dispute between a landlord and other occupiers of apartment in Patna. The competent authority, at the first instance, would be the Commissioner-cum-Chief Executive Officer, Patna Municipal Corporation under the provisions of Bihar Apartment Ownership Act, 2006 and the Rules framed thereunder. The parties are granted liberty to move the said Commissioner with their - 3 - grievances who would decide the same in accordance with law keeping in view, inter alia, the provisions of the Act aforesaid expeditiously but not later than six months from today upon filing of such representation/complaints within three weeks from today. Earlier orders of this Court in this writ proceeding will not inhibit the Commissioner in any manner in exercise of his jurisdiction and would take up the matter de novo and decide it de hors these proceedings. With these observations, this writ petition stands disposed of. Trivedi/ (Navaniti Prasad Singh, J.)
