Petitioner Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. THE PRINCIPAL SECRETARY, BUILDING COSNTRUCTION DEPARTMENT, GOVERNMENT OF BIHAR, PATNA 3. THE CHIEF ENGINEER, BUILDING CONSTRUCTION DEPARTMENT, SOUTH BIHAR ZONE, PATNA 4. THE SUPERINTENDING ENGINEER, BUILDING CONSTRUCTION DEPARTMENT, BUILDING CIRCLE, BHAGALPUR 5. THE EXECUTIVE ENGINEER, BUILDING CONTRUCTION DEPARTMENT, BULDING DIVISION, MUNGER …. …. Respondents ----------- 2. 27.11.2009. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. Many a questions have been raised in the present writ application. Averments are there to show that the final agreement for the work awarded to the petitioner is not being finalised in absence of grant of character certificate by the District Magistrate as well as the Superintendent of Police, in this case the district of Munger. Application by the petitioner was made way back on 4.9.2008 and there is some material to show that exercise was carried out at the lower level but when it came down to issuance of final certificate it has not been done. There are some submissions also made with regard to the requirement, if at all, for obtaining such a character certificate because the petitioner claims himself to belong to Class-III category of contractors. That issue is not being decided in the present writ application but with the limited grievance of the petitioner, the writ - 2 - application stands disposed of with a direction upon the District Magistrate of Munger as well as the Superintendent of Police of Munger that taking cognizance of the application of the petitioner they shall grant a character certificate to the petitioner within 15 days from the date of production of a copy of this order by the petitioner. This writ application stands disposed of with above direction. Pawan/- (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
