Respondent/s ====================================================== Appearance : For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Awanish Kr.Pandey Mr. Ajay Dubey For the Respondent/s : Mr. (Sc5) ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE JUSTICE SMT. SHEEMA ALI KHAN ORAL ORDER (Per: HONOURABLE JUSTICE SMT. SHEEMA ALI KHAN) 3 14-11-2011 The arguments raised on behalf of the petitioner and the State are same. In this case, the petitioner claims that he has completed more than 15 years as a Deed Writer right up to 2000. This fact is disputed by the State Counsel without making assertions regarding the period for which he had worked. The examination took place in the year 2000. The petitioner would have got the benefit of rule 68-B-2 of the Bihar Deed Writers Licenses Rules, if he has worked for 15 years. The matter is thus remanded to the concerned Sub Registrar, Marhowra, Saran who will consider whether the petitioner is covered under the exception provided under the Patna High Court CWJC No.11741 of 2008 (3) dt.09-11-2011 2 / 2 2 Act. The petitioner would have the liberty to bring by way of a representation a deed written by him for the period from which he claims that he was working as a Deed Writer. The Sub Registrar will examine whether he has completed ten years within the time as provided under the Act and rules and will also consider whether this petitioner has sat for the examination of the Deed Writers when it was held in the year 2000. If he has taken the examination, his case will be covered by the decision in the case of Md. Zakir Hussain and Others vs. The State of Bihar & Others [CWJC No. 6838 of 2008] if not he will get the benefit of the Statute. This writ application is disposed of with the aforesaid observations and directions. Anand (Sheema Ali Khan, J)
