IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. WJC No.464 of 2011 Ghanshyam Choudhary, son of Shri Mahendra Narayan Choudhary, resident of village-Sukhasan, P.S. Kishanpur, District-Supaul………………………………………Petitioner. Versus 1. The State Of Bihar through the Principal Secretary, Department of Home, Government of Bihar, Patna. 2. The Principal Secretary, Department of Home, Government of Bihar, Patna. 3. The Additional Secretary, Department of Home(Police), Bihar, Patna. 4. The District Magistrate-cum-District Officer, Supaul. 5. The Superintendent of Police, Supaul, District-Supaul. 6. The Under Secretary, Department of Home(Police), Bihar, Patna. ………………………………………………..Respondents. ----------- 4. 6.7.2011. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner has challenged the order passed under Section 12(2) of the Bihar Control of Crimes Act, 1981, whereby the order dated 27.9.2010 contained in Letter No.CCA-1089/2010 H(P)-8028 (Annexure-‘3’ to this writ application) issued by the Respondent No.6 has been challenged. The challenges are on various grounds and one of the grounds is that the detaining authority has relied upon a case in which the petitioner was already acquitted long back. 2 In the counter affidavit, it has been pointed out that the petitioner was given an opportunity to file show cause but the petitioner has not filed show cause and, thus, he could not avail the remedy to which he was entitled to. It appears that the petitioner instead of preferring representation by way of statutory right before the concerned authority has come before this Court by filing this writ application invoking the writ jurisdiction of this Court. This writ application cannot be entertained and it can safely be said that the petitioner has chosen not to go to the authorities where he was required to go. Considering the aforesaid facts and the circumstances of the case, this writ application is dismissed being not maintainable. The petitioner would be at liberty to take legal recourse which is available to him in accordance with law. P.S. (Shyam Kishore Sharma, J) (Rajendra Kumar Mishra, J)
