IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.10841 of 2008 Bhupendra Kumar Mishra, Son of Baliram Mishra, resident of village- Sherganj, P.S. Ara Town, District-Bhojpur…………………………………………………………….……………..Petitioner. Versus 1. The State of Bihar. 2. The Public Information Officer, Information Commission, Patna. 3. Sub-Judge I-cum-Incharge, Public Information Officer, Ara, Bhojpur………………………………………………………………………....Respondents . ----------- 3. 29.07.2011. Heard learned counsels for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner is aggrieved by the notices issued to him by respondent no. 3, as contained in Annexure-1, by which the petitioner was required to file his reply with regard to the information sought for by one Rani Srivastava, wife of Niranjan Prasad. The claim of the petitioner is that he is a private individual and issuance of such notice is not permissible under Section 2(H) of the Right to Information Act, as the petitioner is not a public authority. From the order of the State Chief Information Commissioner dated 19.03.2008, it appears that the respondent no. 3 admitted that by mistake he issued notices to the petitioner. In view of the post of Sub Judge, which the respondent no. 3 was holding, the mistake - 2 - committed by him makes its more serious. Considering the admission of respondent no. 3, as recorded by the State Chief Information Commissioner in order dated 19.03.2008, this Court does not think it proper to interfere. But it is expected from respondent no.3 that he should be cautious in future. With the aforesaid observation, this writ application is disposed off. U.K. (Dinesh Kumar Singh,J)
