SHEEMA ALI KHAN ORAL ORDER (Per: HONOURABLE JUSTICE SMT. SHEEMA ALI KHAN) 2 20-12-2011 Heard Counsel for the petitioner, the State and the State Election Commission. It is surprising that parties have to move this Corut for implementation of the orders of the Officers of State of Bihar. In this particular case, the Secretary of the State Election Commission, Bihar has requested the District Magistrate –cum- District Election Officer, Bhojpur at Ara to dispose of the application filed on behalf of the petitioner and specifically the petition filed on behalf of the villagers of Patna High Court CWJC No.20180 of 2010 (2) dt.20-12-2011 2 / 2 2 Maranpur and Situhari to demarcate the villagers and the population for the purposes of Mukhiya Elections. The direction was given by the Secretary, State Election Commission on 24.09.2010. The matter is pending for more than one year. The petitioner has filed this writ application so that this Court may now intervene in the matter and issue specific directions to the District Magistrate, Bhojpur at Ara to solve the boundary problems which have arisen in this case. I direct the petitioner to produce a copy of this order before the District Magistrate, Bhojpur at Ara and it is hoped that the District Magistrate will act in accordance with law and pass appropriate orders within a period of six months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order after making whatever enquiry for the purpose of demarcating the boundaries or fixing the boundaries with respect to the electoral area for the purpose of election of Mukhiya. This writ application is disposed of with the aforesaid observations and directions. Prabhakar Anand/- (Sheema Ali Khan, J)
