The Principal Secretary, Food & Consumer Protection Department Government of Bihar, Patna 3. District Magistrate, Khagaria 4. Sub-Divisional Officer, Khagaria 5. Block Development Officer, Khagaria 6. Accounts Administration & Self Employment Authority, Khagaria 7. District Rural Development Agency, Distt.- Khagaria. .Respondents. ----------- 3/ 23.09.2011 The petitioners, who are the P.D.S. dealers in the district of Khagaria pray for quashing the letter no. 1169 dated 06.06.2011, issued under the signature of Block Development Officer, Khagaria, whereby they have directed to deposit the undistributed rice allotted to them under SGRY Scheme at 2 A.P.L. rate. The petitioners submit that the notice does not specify the quantity of rice either allotted to them or the quantity which has remained undistributed with them. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I find that the impugned order is vague as it does not specify either the quantity of rice that was allotted or the quantity of rice that would still remain with the petitioner. As such, the impugned order dated 06.06.2011 is set aside with a direction to the Block Development Officer, Khagaria to issue fresh notice specifying the quantity of rice that would remain undistributed with the petitioners within four weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. Till then, no coercive steps would be taken against the petitioners. With the aforesaid observations and directions, this writ petition stands disposed of. Let a copy of this order be transmitted to the Block Development Officer, Khagaria in the district of Khagaria. Uday/ (Samarendra Pratap Singh, J.)
