IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.1117 of 2011 Sri Sudhanshu Shekhar Mishra & Lal Babu Prasad . Versus The State Of Bihar & Ors . ----------- 3/ 05.09.2011 Heard learned counsel for the parties. The petitioner was settled sand Ghats for the period 2007-09. The petitioner paid the entire settlement amount of Rs.4,70,370/-. The petitioner submits that he would be entitled to refund of the royalty paid by Works Contractor. The petitioner has also made representations in this regard. Mr. V.M.K. Sinha, learned counsel appearing for the Mines, submits that the petitioners ought to have approached respondent no.2 first instead of moving this Court in writ jurisdiction. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I observe that if petitioner files a petition before respondent no.2 in respect of claim of royalty, the latter would dispose of representation within a period of 8 weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. With the aforesaid observation, this application is disposed of. Uday/ (Samarendra Pratap Singh, J.)
