IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.15110 of 2009 1. AJEET SHARMA S/O LATE JAGDISH SHARMA R/O VILL.- GODIHAN, P.S. PARASBIGHA, DISTT.- JEHANABAD Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH THE SECRETARY, DEPTT. OF ENVIRONMENT AND FOREST, GOVT. OF BIHAR 2. THE AUTHORISED OFFICER-CUM-DIVISIONAL FOREST OFFICER, GAYA FOREST DIVISION GAYA 3. THE FORESTER, JEHANABAD DISTT.- JEHANABAD ----------- 2 18.5.2010 By order dated 9.7.2009 passed in CWJC No. 7559/09 this Court had directed for release of the tractor and trailer on furnishing appropriate sureties to the satisfaction of Divisional Forest Officer, Gaya. After the order of this Court, the petitioner sought relief but the Divisional Forest Officer, Gaya demanded Bank guarantee of Rs. 3.10 lacs . petitioner is ready to give a bond as Bank Guarantee which he thought could be provided is not readily available. That would amount to virtual confiscation before proceedings are concluded. Hence the present writ petition. In my view, the prayer of the petitioner is reasonable. Let tractor and trailer, in question, be released on proper identification to the petitioner on furnishing bond to the extent of surety, as demanded by the Divisional Forest Officer at the earliest. In view of the observations and directions, the writ petition stands disposed of. singh ( Navaniti Prasad Singh, J.)
