IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA REQ. CASE No.39 of 2008 INDRAMANI CONSTRUCTION PVT.LTD Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 06/ 08.01.2010 Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the Bihar Public Works Contracts Disputes Arbitration Tribunal Act, 2008 has become functional and hence he wants the request case to be transferred before the Bihar Public Works Contracts Disputes Arbitration Tribunal. 2. Learned counsel for the respondent vehemently opposes the contention of learned counsel for the petitioner and submits that since the request case is itself not maintainable in view of a Full Bench decision of this Court in case of Shambhu Sharma vs. The State of Bihar & Ors., reported in 2009 (2) P.L.J.R. 1009, there is no question of entertaining the request case, which should be dismissed outright at this stage as it has become infructuous. 3. Since the request case has been filed by the petitioner and the Bihar Public Works Contracts Disputes Arbitration Tribunal has become functional, this matter is transferred to the said Tribunal without going into the merits of the claims of the parties and the Tribunal will be at liberty to consider the maintainability or legality of such claims in view of the specific provisions of law as well as case laws. 4. This request case is, thus, disposed of as transferred to the said Tribunal. harish/ ( S. N. Hussain, J. )
