IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.9951 of 2011 Upendra Pandey SON OF LATE NARENDRA PANDEY OF BABURA, P.S. BARHARA, DISTRICT BHOJPUR. Versus The State Of Bihar & Ors ---------------------------------- 2 06/09/2011 Though the stand taken by the learned counsel for the State that this writ application ought not to have been filed by the petitioner at this stage when he has already invoked the jurisdiction of the Director General of Police by filing memorial seems to be correct but the Court can also not over look the fact that such memorial remains pending before the higher authorities for years together, if not for a decade or more. Let us hope that this will not be the case of the present petitioner. Memorial stands filed on 14/07/2010 which is more than a year. It is high time that the Director General of Police, Bihar, Patna takes cognizance of the same and decide it within a reasonable time frame which this Court fixes as three months from the date of production or communication of a copy of this order. This writ application is disposed of with the direction aforesaid. AMIN/ (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
