The Deputy Development Commissioner, Samastipur 4. The Sub Divisional Officer, Patori 5. The Block Development Officer, Patori, Distt.- Samastipur …… RESPONDENTS 2 26.8.2011 A supplementary affidavit has been filed on behalf of the petitioners. Let it be kept on the record. The petitioners are P.D.S. dealers within Patori block in the district of Samastipur. They were allowed foodgrains under the SGRY Scheme in the year 2005-06 to be distributed under valid permits. The petitioners submit that since permits were not issued, some quantity of food grains remained with them, as they could distribute the same without valid permits. However, the petitioners were directed to deposit the value of undistributed rice at BPL rate which they had deposited. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that now the respondents are asking the petitioners to deposit the value of undistributed rice at APL rate. Having considered the facts and circumstances of the case, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction that if the petitioners file their representation before the Block Development 2 KHAN Officer, Patori, the same would be disposed within two weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. No coercive steps would be taken against the petitioners as they claim that they had already deposited the entire value of undistributed rice at BPL rate. (S.P.Singh,J)
