IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.1912 of 2008 Dharm Nath Prasad Son of Late Ramayan Prasad Resident of Village +P.O. Jogapur, P.S. Jamobajar, District-Siwan. …..Petitioner. Versus 1. The State of Bihar. 2. Collector, Siwan, District-Siwan. 3. District Mining Officer, Rajendra Path, Siwan, District-Siwan. 4. District Assistant Mining Officer, Rajendra Path, Siwan, District- Siwan. 5. District Certificate Officer, Siwan, District-Siwan. ……Respondents. ----------- 02. 13.04.2009 The petitioner is facing the Certificate Case No. 3 of 2006-07 which is pending before the District Certificate Officer, Siwan. His grievance is that though in the said certificate proceedings he had filed his objection and the Certificate Officer called for a report from the District Mining Officer, Siwan, as also made inquiry nothing has been done thereafter and the matter is kept pending. Having considered the matter, in my view, it would be appropriate to direct the respondent, District Certificate Officer, Siwan to take up objection petition and take such follow up action as he may deem fit in the matter so that he can decide the objection finally on merits after hearing the parties. It is open to him to make such inquiry as he may deem fit in the matter. As it is only thereafter i.e. after - 2 - deciding the objection any further steps can be taken in the matter. It is expected that the District Certificate Officer would decide the objection of the petitioner within a period of three months from the date of production of copy of this order before him. In the meantime, no coercive steps would be taken against the petitioner. The writ application stands disposed of. Vikash/- (Navaniti Prasad Singh, J.)
