Vs. 1) The State of Bihar through the Commissioner cum Secretary, Department of Transport, Bihar, Patna. 2) The Commissioner cum Secretary, Transport Department, Bihar, Patna. 3) The Commissioner, Magadh Division, Gaya. 4) The Dy. Transport Commissioner cum Secretary, Magadh Regional Transport Authority, Gaya. 5) The Dist. Magistrate, Aurangabad. 6) The Supdt. Of Police, Aurangabad. 7) The Dist. Transport Officer, Aurangabad – Respondents. 4 29.11.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Earlier to the present writ petition, one Sudama Singh had filed a writ petition claiming that Danibigha should be notified as the bus stand. The court passed an order on instruction of the State counsel that the administration was considering to notify Danibigha as the bus stand. Later a modification application being MJC No. 1223/2003 was filed for modification of the order which was modified. While noticing the contention of the rival parties, this court has said that primarily the issue of determining as to where the bus stand should be situated, lies in the hands of the authorities. However, while doing so the court also noted that Danibigha was situated in the middle of the town and very close to the residence of the District and Sessions Judge and other officers as well as the girls college. A rejoinder on behalf of the State was filed stating that it is at a distance from the residence of the District and Sessions Judge as well as the girls college. However, it was not denied that 2 the bus stand at Danibigha was in the middle of thickly populated area. The present writ petition has been filed challenging the decision to shift the bus stand to Danibigha. A counter affidavit has been filed stating therein that Danibigha is not a suitable place for being used as a bus stand as it is in a thickly populated area and is quite close to Government quarters as well as a educational institution. Be that as it may finally a decision has been taken on 12.12.2009 by the Magadh Regional Transport authority, Gaya to allow the bus stand to remain at Rambandh, Aurangabad. In view of the aforesaid decision, this writ petition has become infructuous as the petitioner has got the relief prayed for in the writ petition. It is dismissed as such. haque ( Sheema Ali Khan, J .)
