THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. THE DISTRICT MAGISTRATE ROHTAS AT SASARAM 3. THE D.D.C. ROHTAS AT SASARAM 4. THE DISTRICT WELFARE OFFICER ROHTAS 5. THE CHILD DEVELOPMENT PROJECT OFFICER KARAHGAR, DISTT-ROHTAS 6. THE MUKHIYA BRAHRI PANCHAYAT P.S.KARAHGAR, DISTT-ROHTAS 7. THE SECRETARY (PANCHAYAT SEWAK BRAHRI GRAM PANCHAYAT) P.S.KARAHGAR, DISTT-ROHTAS 8. THE DISTRICT PROGRAMME OFFICER ROHTAS AT SASARAM ……………. RESPONDENTS ----------- 2. 17/03/2011 Grievance of the petitioner is that though the then Collector, Rohtas had already passed orders in favour of the petitioner on 25.6.2009, but the same is not being implemented by the District Programme Officer and the successor Collector is not looking into the matter inspite of the fact that the petitioner has represented before him through Annexure-6. It need not be emphasized that if an officer of the rank of Collector has passed an order and the same is still continuing in operation, the same must be implemented. It is also the duty of the successor in office to see that the orders passed by his predecessor are complied with and obeyed by 2 all concerned if the same have not been challenged by any aggrieved party before any appropriate authority. Therefore, the writ application is disposed of with a direction to the present Collector, Sasaram to look into the matter and take appropriate steps immediately, as necessary, in accordance with law.
