IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.8377 of 2009 Sheela Moorjani, W/o. Shri R.C. Moorjani, R/o. Matridham, 7/216, Swarup Nagar, Kanpur, District- Kanpur (U.P.). Versus 1. Bihar State Housing Board, Patna, through its Managing Director. 2. Managing Director, Bihar State Housing Board, Patna. 3. Secretary, Bihar State Housing Board, Patna. 4. Executive Engineer, Bihar State Housing Board, Patna Division. ----------- 03. 09.09.2011 The writ petition has been filed for direction to the respondent Housing Board to allot a suitable plot to the petitioner or refund the deposited amount with 14% per annum interest. It is not in dispute that the petitioner was allotted Plot No.T/389, area 2860 square feet in Lohiyanagar Housing Colony, Patna Vide letter No.8493 dated 19.11.1981 as contained in Annexure-1. Thereafter the petitioner deposited in installments till 1983 total amounting to Rs.8205=75. On 27.11.1981 a hire-purchase agreement was executed with regard to the allotted plot but the possession was not delivered in spite of several requests made by the petitioner. It appears that a proceeding under Section 147 of the Cr.P.C. has initiated to the behest of one Jitan Prasad Yadav, against the Housing Board in which the petitioner was not a party, whereby the learned Sub-divisional Magistrate by the order contained in 2 Annexure-2 restrained the Housing Board from interfering with the plot Nos. T/388 and T/389 one of which was allotted to the petitioner, when the petitioner filed the representation on 19.02.2009 as contained in Annexure-4 either to allot the other plot or to refund the amount but nothing has been done. The factual scenario is not disputed by learned Housing Board. However, learned counsel for the Housing Board submits that he is ready to refund the amount with the statutory interest as prescribed. Let the amount of the petitioner be returned within two months. The interest will be calculated from the date the money was deposited till the date of payment as per the prescribed rate of interest applicable on the date of payment. Accordingly, this writ application is allowed. Mkr. (Dinesh Kumar Singh, J.)
