IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.12115 of 2009 KRISHNA KUMAR SINGH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2 11.9.2009 Heard learned counsel for the parties. Stand of the petitioner is that in terms of annexure- 3 he had already stated that there was no claimant and no dues was outstanding so far this petitioner is concerned because all the farmers who had kept their potatoes in the cold storage, took away their potatoes without any damage. He now contends that in absence of any details, the petitioner is being asked by the District Magistrate to pay compensation. He does not even know the farmer to whom he has to pay compensation. The notice in question is vague. In view of the generality of the notice the petitioner is relegated back to the District Magistrate, East Champaran who would be obliged to give details of the payment and the allegations with regard to potatoes having been destroyed or damaged while it was stored with the petitioner and after hearing the petitioner the District Magistrate shall take appropriate decision in the matter. This writ application is disposed of with the above direction. RPS (Ajay Kumar Tripathi,J.)
