IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.2557 of 2003 Smt.Kanti Devi, W/o Sri Rajendra Pd. Singh, resident of Village- Hanuman Bagi Hisua, P.S. Hisua, District-Nawadah Versus 1. The State of Bihar 2. Secretary, Department of Forest and Environment, Government of Bihar, Patna 3. Chief Conservator of Forest, Government of Bihar, Patna 4. Divisional Forest Officer, Forest Division, Gaya. ----------- 3. 12.4.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The case of the petitioner is that after coming into fore of the Bihar Saw Mills Regulation Act, 1990, the petitioner applied for issuance of licence but no decision has been taken thereon. It is thus evident that at no point of time the petitioner had any valid licence to run the saw mill. These matters have been taken up at the level of the Apex Court and a Central Empowered Committee has been constituted to look into the matter and the State Government has also appointed committees in the Districts to determine as to which of the saw mills shall be permitted to continue. No details at all are to be found in the writ petition with regard to those facts and only a vague application has been filed for directing the authorities not to disturb the petitioner to run the saw mill. 2 In view of the lack of any factual pleadings in the writ petition, this Court does not consider it a fit case to pass any direction in the matter. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. However, it would be open to the petitioner to approach the competent authority in the matter for appropriate relief. S. Pandey (Ramesh Kumar Datta, J.)
