He has preferred this writ petition in public interest raising a grievance that although more than 12.8 crores were sanctioned as incentive for cane growers, that money has been defalcated and has not been paid to the cane growers. According to petitioner under Right to Information Act the information given to him is not complete but that also discloses names of farmers which are fake and not supported by any reference to their land holdings such as Khata number and Khesra number. Learned counsel for the State submits that if the petitioner is actuated by public interest he should have approached 2 the higher authority, Cane Commissioner, Patna with his grievance through a representation and waited for the outcome of action by such higher authority. It is that the found petitioner has not preferred any representation in the matter to highlight his grievance or to initiate any enquiry or action. In that view of the matter the writ petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to raise his grievance through a representation before respondent no.2 the Cane Commissioner, Bihar, Patna or the Principal Secretary, Cane Development Department, Government of Bihar. If such representation is filed along with a copy of this order then the concerned authority shall get the allegations and grievances enquired into through appropriate agency or officer and communicate the result of such enquiry to the petitioner at an early date preferably within four months.
