IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.6725 of 2011 MD.SAMSUDDIN & ANR . Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS . ----------- 2. 26.04.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners, the State and the State Election Commission. On the own showing of the petitioners from their pleadings, their nomination form was not accompanied by a caste certificate. Their contention that they held an earlier caste certificate issued in 1994 and which should have been considered by the returning officer, cannot be examined in the writ petition once they themselves acknowledges the lapse on their part. The second contention that they had represented to the District Magistrate that the Block Development Officer was intentionally delaying the issuance of a caste certificate is a matter for appropriate enquiry by the District Magistrate and based on the report of such enquiry the petitioners may pursue such remedies against the concerned, as may be advised. Let the representation of the petitioners be disposed off by the District Magistrate in accordance with law preferably within a period of two months 2 from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The writ application stands disposed. P. Kumar ( Navin Sinha, J.)
