IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.4454 of 2009 BHARAT SINGH @ MURARI SINGH, aged about 40 years, son of Sri Shambhu Singh, R/o Village- Laluadih, P.S.-Harnauth, District- Nalanda. …….. Petitioner Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR through the Chief Secretary, Bihar Patna. 2. The Divisional Commissioner, Office of the Police Commissioner, Patna. 3. The District magistrate-Cum- Collector, Nalanda. 4. Satrughan Singh 5. Balwant Singh, Both sons of Sri Shambhu Singh, R/o Village- Laluadih, P.S.- Harnauth, District- Nalanda …….. Respondents. For the petitioner : Ajoy Kumar Chakraborty, Advocate. For the Respondents : Mr. Ram Suhawan Singh, Advocate. ----------- 3. 27-09-2010 1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State of Bihar and its authorities (Respondent nos. 1 to 3) as well as learned counsel for private respondent nos. 4 and 5. 2. This appears to be fight between Gotias as the sole writ petitioner has sought cancellation of arms licence issued to his brothers Opposite Party Nos. 4 and 5. It further transpires that the matter had been fully considered by the Commissioner, Patna Division (Respondent no. 2) vide order dated 12.03.2007 (Annexure- 4) passed in Arms Appeal Case No. 188 of 2006. The said order is a very considered and speaking order in which this court does not find any illegality whereas on the other hand order dated 16.12.2008 (Annexure-5) passed by the District magistrate, Nalanda (Respondent no. 3) appears to be absolutely without jurisdiction and also against 2 the basic principles of law. No adverse comment can be legally made by a subordinate authority against the order of a superior authority. 3. Under these circumstances, this court does not find any merit in this writ petition. Accordingly, it is dismissed. Sujit (S.N.Hussain,J.)
