IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.4312 of 2010 Tripurari Chaubey & Anr. Versus The State Of Bihar & Ors. ----------- 02. 01.07.2011 Heard Mr. Alok Kumar Sinha No. 1, learned counsel appearing for the petitioners and Mr. Aditya Nath Pandey, assisting counsel to G.A. 5 for the State. The writ petition has been filed seeking direction to respondent no. 4 Sub-Divisional Magistrate, Aurangabad, to dispose of the application filed by the petitioner under Section 147 of the Code of Criminal procedure, 1973 pending before the said authority since 23.11.2007 as contained in Annexure-2. Learned counsel submits that although the said application was filed before the Sub-Divisional Magistrate as back as in the year 2007 but the same has remained pending. The petitioners allege encroachment by the respondent no. 6. As the petitioners have already moved the appropriate authority of the Sub-Divisional Magistrate by filing an application under Section 147 of the Cr.P.C., this Court without entering into the merits of the case, disposes of the writ petition with a direction to the Sub- Divisional Magistrate, Aurangabad to dispose of the application filed by the petitioners under Section 147 2 Cr.P.C. giving rise to Case No. 01 of 2007 in accordance with law expeditiously and preferably within a period of six months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order.
