IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.14745 of 2009 1. ANITA KUMARI W/O SURENDRA PRASAD VILL.- CHAPUR, P.S.- MASAURHI, DISTT.- PATNA Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH SECRETARY, FOOD & CIVIL SUPPLY DEPTT., PATNA 2. THE DISTRICT MAGISTRATE PATNA 3. THE A.D.M., SUPPLY PATNA 4. THE S.D.O. MASAURHI SUB-DIVISION DISTT.- PATNA 5. THE SELECTION COMMITTEE THROUGH ITS CHAIRMAN DISTRICT MAGISTRATE, PATNA. ----------- For the Petitioner : Mr. N.K. Agarwal, Sr. Adv. Mr. Vijay Anand, Adv. For the State : SC-2. --------- 02 15.12.2009 The petitioner allegedly applied for grant of licence and for appointment as a dealer under the Public Distribution System for Chapur Panchayat under Masaurhi Sub Division of Patna district. The application is said to have been duly made in the year 2004, on which there were certain enquiries ordered and enquiries made. Reports were submitted to the Sub Divisional Officer, but then nothing has been done. Petitioner alleges that several persons, who had applied for the same very Block for similar appointments much later, have already been granted the licence and have been appointed dealers, but for no valid reason and without - 2 - disclosing any reason petitioner’s application is not being considered much less granted. In my view, there is no point in keeping the application pending. Justice would suffice by issuing a direction to the Sub Divisional Officer, Masaurhi, District-Patna to look into the matter and pass final orders in that regard at the earliest not later than one month from the date of production of a copy of this order before him. With this observation, this writ petition is disposed of. Trivedi/ (Navaniti Prasad Singh, J.)
