IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA C. REV. No.86 of 2007 PARMANAND SINGH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 03- 9.5.2008 None appears on behalf of the petitioner. Heard Mr. Chhote Lal Narain Singh, learned Standing Counsel No.1 for the State of Bihar and its functionaries. 2. This application has been filed by the petitioner of C.W.J.C. No.5787 of 2006 (Sri Parmanand Singh Vs. The State of Bihar and others), which was dismissed on 21.12.2006 on merits. The review application has been filed mainly on the ground that learned counsel for the petitioner could not appear on 21.12.2006. It is, therefore, prayed that the order may be recalled and the matter may be re-heard for a fresh decision. 3. It appears that the matter was dismissed on merits, after consideration of the materials on record including the respondents’ counter affidavit and the submissions of the learned Government Counsel. 4. In that view of the matter, I am not inclined to allow this review application, particularly in a situation where the 2 petitioner had not filed rejoinder to the counter affidavit as a result of which the statements made in the counter affidavit were deemed to have been accepted by non-traverse. It further appears that copy of the counter affidavit was served on learned counsel for the petitioner on 12.7.2006 and the writ petition was disposed of on 21.12.2006. I, therefore, do not feel the necessity of recalling the order for a fresh decision. It is accordingly rejected. (S K Katriar, J.) S.K.Pathak/
