The State Of Bihar Through The Deputy Developmentt Commissioner, Distt- Village Development Agency, Betia Distt.- West Champaran 2. The Block Development Officer, Manjhaulia, Distt.- West Champaran 2 23.9.2011 The petitioner, who is a P.D.S. dealer within Manjhaulia Block in the district of West Champaran, seeks quashing of the order dated 6.8. 2011 contained in memo no.801 passed by the Block Development Officer, Manjhaulia whereby he has been directed to deposit a sum of Rs.1,64,135/- towards the value of 220.02 quintals of undistributed rice under SGRY Scheme at the APL rate. The petitioner submits that he has already paid a sum of Rs.1,37,292/- which would account for more than 85% of the undistributed rice. The petitioner submits that the respondents are liable for not taking back the rice, though the scheme lapsed in 2006. It appears from the materials on record that the petitioner has already deposited 85% of the value of undistributed rice, which remained in his godown since 2005. The petitioner could not dispose of the rice as no sufficient permit was issued for distribution of all rice allotted to him under SGRY Scheme. The respondents ought to have taken it back in 2006 itself, instead allowing it to rust all these years. In facts of the case, the impugned notice dated 6.8.2011 contained in memo no.801 passed by the Block Development Officer, Manjhaulia, West Champaran is quashed. In the result, this writ petition is allowed. KHAN (S. P. Singh, J.) 2
