IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.8776 of 2006 MANRAJ SINGH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 04. 05.09.2008 Despite an order passed in favour of the petitioner in C.W.J.C. No. 15385 of 2001 dated 23.9.2004 it is his assertion that he has not been given charge of Tax Daroga which is an open defiance of the judicial order. In the normal course of things contempt ought to have been the answer but the petitioner has chosen to file a fresh writ application in this regard. After much delay a counter affidavit has been filed by Shri Shiv Kumar Shaiv, Executive Officer of Buxar Nagar Parishad where a categorical statement has been made in para 5 that the petitioner has been given the work to supervise the work of all the Tax Collectors. He has also been given additional responsibility of collection of tax from shops and also making assessment for new buildings but the statement has not been supported by any kind of order in this regard. In that view of the matter counsel for the petitioner expresses serious doubt on the authencity of this statement made in the affidavit. The present writ application is disposed of treating the statement made in para 5 of the respondents to be true and authentic with a further direction that the respondents shall issue an order in this regard and serve the - 2 - same on the petitioner, if not already done earlier, within a time span of six weeks from the date of communication/production of a copy of this order. The Court hopes that the issue will stand resolved. rkp (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J)
