THE COMMANDANT, BIHAR REGIMENTAL CENTRE, DANAPUR CANTT., DISTT.- PATNA ----------- 2/ 26/04/2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. Whether the deceased Nayak Subedar Ramdeo Singh had adopted petitioner No.2 or not is basically a question of fact. To what facilities the minor Shiva Kant Kumar Singh may and may not be entitled are to be determined by the service conditions of the deceased Nayak Subedar Ramdeo Singh. The respondents appear to have applied their mind to it when they have issued a questionnaire on 22.2.2005 to the petitioner. It is the case of the petitioner in paragraph- 16 of the writ application that they have furnished the relevant documents. No date has been furnished and neither has any statement been made with regard to the nature of documents furnished in light of the itemized questionnaire dated 22.2.2005. If what the petitioner contends is correct, and all requisite and necessary information has been 2 furnished prior to the passing of the present order, let the same be considered by the respondents in accordance with law expeditiously preferably within a maximum period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. If the questionnaire dated 22.2.2005 has not been replied to before passing of the present order, and the petitioner shall seek to do so by virtue of the present order, issues of misrepresentation of facts before the Court may arise for consideration when the respondent authorities shall be under no obligation to consider the same. The writ application stands disposed in the aforesaid terms. KC ( Navin Sinha, J.)
