The Block Programme Officer (Manrega), Amdabad, Katihar 2 5.9.2011 The petitioners are P.D.S. dealers within Manihari cum Amdabad in the district of Katihar. The petitioners pray for quashing the general notice dated 11.7.2011 issued by the Block Supply Officer, Manihari cum Amdabad whereby they have been asked to return the value of undistributed rice allotted to them under SGRY AND NFFW Schemes for the years 2001 to 2007 at APL rate. The petitioners submit that the impugned notice does not specify either the quantity of food grains that was allotted to them or the quantity which has remained undistributed with them. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I find that the impugned notice is vague as it does not specify either the quantity of rice that was allotted or the quantity of rice that would still remain with the petitioners. As such the impugned notice dated 11.7.2011 is set aside with a direction to the B.D.O. Amdabad to issue fresh notice 3 specifying the quantity of rice that would remain undistributed with the petitioners within four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No coercive steps would be taken against the petitioners. With the aforesaid observations and directions, these writ petitions are accordingly disposed of. Let a copy of this order be transmitted to the Deputy Development Commissioner, Katihar. KHAN (S.P. Singh,J)
