IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Miscellaneous Jurisdiction Case No.4876 of 2010 Sursati Devi Kharwar, D/o Dular Prasad Kharwar, W/o Shri Bharat Prasad Kharwar, resident of Mohalla Shri Nagar, Ward No.1, P.S. and P.O. Siwan Town , District Siwan……………………………………..Petitioner Versus 1. The State Of Bihar. 2. Mrs. Ansuli Arya, the Commissioner, Saran Division. 3. Mr. Lokesh Kumar Singh, Collector-cum-D.M. Siwan. 4. Mr. Somesh Bahadur Mathur, Sub-Divisional Officer, Siwan. 5. Mr. Dinesh Kumar, Block Development Officer, Siwan Saadar, Siwan…Opposite Parties/Contemnors. ------------ 4 12.10.2011 In compliance to the orders of this Court, the Collector has passed the order, though belatedly, by Annexure-C. However, this Court would have taken action against the opposite parties for delay in passing the order at least, but for the fact that there are some laches on the part of the petitioner herself. It appears that, along with her application, which she filed before the Collector after about one and a half month of passing of orders of this Court, no documents were enclosed. Along with the supplementary affidavit, petitioner has produced an application dated 05.09.2011 in which a list of large number of documents is mentioned as filed along with the said 2 application. The said application appears to have been entered into the diary of the Legal Section of Collector’s office on 06.09.2011. The order of the Collector (Annexure-C) shows that the Collector had passed the order on 05.09.2011 itself. This shows that there were laches on the part of the petitioner herself in producing the entire materials before the Collector for perusal in time. In the circumstances, this Court is not inclined to proceed in the matter further. The application is dismissed. Petitioner will be at liberty to challenge the said order of the Collector in accordance with law in an appropriate proceeding. BT (J. N. Singh, J.)
