IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.12243 of 2009 RAMESH SHARMA @ RAMESH MISTRI, Son of Late Sukan Mistri, resident of Village- Bhagwatpur, P.S. Chandi, District- Bhojpur...................................................................Petitioner. Versus 1. The State of Bihar, through the Secretary, Environment & Forest Department, Government of Bihar, Patna. 2. The Principal Chief Conservator of Forest, Bihar, Patna. 3. The Divisional Forest Officer, Bhojpur Forest Division, Bhojpur. 4. The Forester, Koilwar, District- Bhojpur, Ara. 5. The Officer-in-charge, Chandi Police Station, Chandi, District- Bhojpur.........................................................................Respondents. ----------- 3. 12.10.2009. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Petitioner is the owner of a Saw Mill with a 18” circular blade so submitted counsel for the petitioner and such Saw Mill is not within the purview of the orders of the Hon’ble Supreme Court, yet the authorities have chosen to prevent the petitioner from operating the Saw Mill without passing any order to that effect. To close the Saw Mill of the petitioner without passing an order is highhandedness on the part of the authorities which this Court deprecates as without passing any order, the authorities could not restrain the petitioner or any body from doing a lawful activity. Accordingly, this Court permits the petitioner to operate his Saw Mill unless he is visited with an order made by the authorities restraining him from operating Saw Mill. This application is, accordingly, disposed of. U.K. (V.N.Sinha,J)
