IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.18286 of 2010 1. SAYEEDUL AZAM Son of late Gazi Ziaullah, At P.O. and resident of village Dwarika, District Buxar at present President of Advocates Association Dumraon, District Buxar, 2. Radhika Raman Singh son of Shri Raj Bahadur Singh, residentof village Dharahara, at present President of Advocates Association Dumraon, District Buxar, … Petitioners. Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR, 2. The Chief Secretary, Bihar, Patna, 3. The Cabinet Secretary, Government of Bihar, Patna, 4. The Finance Secretary, Government of Bihar, Patna, 5. The Home Secretary, Government of Bihar, 6. The Principal Secretary, Personnel & Administrative Department, Government of Bihar, Patna, 7. Registrar General, Patna High Court, 8. The District Magistrate, Buxar, ----------- 3 10.01.2011 Nobody appears for the petitioners. Learned counsel for the State is present. The representation made by some lawyers of Dumraon, as contained in Annexure 1, discloses that because Dumraon has Executive Officers of Sub-divisional level since 1994 hence Civil Court at Sub-divisional level should also be constructed and made operational. Construction of Civil Court and Sub-Jail and making them operational depends upon large number of factors including distance of a particular Sub-division from the District Headquarters. These aspects have to be 2 kept in mind including number of cases from a particular sub-divisional before such plea can be entertained in Public Interest Litigation. Hence this Public Interest Litigation is disposed of with a liberty to the petitioners that if so advised, they may approach the District & Sessions Judge, Buxar with full particulars. Thereafter the District & Sessions Judge should consider the representation of the petitioners on its own merit and if he finds the necessity of making a favourable recommendation in public interest for construction of Civil Court at Dumraon Sub-division, then he should take the required steps and forward the opinion to the High Court on administrative side. It is made clear that we have not expressed any view on the merits of the case. SC (Shiva Kirti Singh, J.) (Dr. Ravi Ranjan, J.)
