IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.8539 of 2009 RAMPHAL YADAV Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 02. 25.07.2009 Having heard learned Senior counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State the Court is satisfied that the petitioner first must invoke statutory right of appeal and no case for interference is made out under Article 226 of the Constitution of India by giving a goby to the appellate jurisdiction. Learned Senior counsel is willing to file an appeal before the concerned appellate authority but he has genuine apprehension that the matter may remain pending for years together. This Court has occasion to examine such matters where appeals remained pending for decision over many a years and to that extent apprehension expressed is not misplaced. The Court directs that the appeal of the petitioner will be heard and decided within six months of the filing of the same by the concerned authority i.e. District Magistrate, Supaul. The writ application stands disposed of with the above direction. rkp (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J)
