IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.4372 of 2010 Sangita Devi W/o Manoranjan Kumar, Old L. No. 4/94, New 55/2007, Village- Jagarnata, P.S. Uchakagaon, District- Gopalganj. ... Petitioner. Versus 1. The State Of Bihar through the Collector, Gopalganj, District- Gopalganj. 2. The Sub-Divisional Officer, Hathua, P.S. Hathua, District- Gopalganj. 3. The Block Supply Rationing Officer, Uchakagaon, P.S. Uchakagaon, District- Gopalganj. 4. Shri Baidyanath Ram Mukhiya S/o Late Maya Ram Resident of village- Bhahmain, P.S. Uchakagaon, District- Gopalganj. 5. Sudama Bhagat Son of Late Laxman Bhagat, R/o village- Uchakagaon, P.S. Uchakagaon, District- Gopalganj. ... Respondents. ----------- 2. 01.07.2011. Heard Mr. Bhawesh Kumar, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner and Mr. Ajay Kumar Sharma, learned A.C to AAG-I for the State. The petitioner is a licensee under the Public Distribution System and was granted license in the year 1986 bearing license no. 04 of 1986. Following a dispute with the elected Mukhiya of the Gram Panchayat Uchakagaon, the card holders attached to the shop of the petitioner were shifted and attached to the shop of respondent no.5, another dealer under the Public Distribution System. Feeling aggrieved, the petitioner filed Misc. (Supply) Case No. 122 0f 2002 before the Collector, Gopalganj and who after considering the grievance of the petitioner, vide order passed on 27.12.2002 in Misc. (Supply) Case No. 122 0f 2002 as contained in Annexure-3 remanded the matter for consideration by the Sub-Divisional Officer, Hathua. It is the contention of learned counsel that since after the remand of the matter on 27.12.2002 by the Collector, Gopalganj, the matter has remained pending and hence the writ petition. It is rather strange that despite the direction of the superior authority being the Collector of the District- Gopalganj for disposal of the claim by the Sub-Divisional Officer, Hathua, it has remained pending forcing the petitioner to file the writ petition. No counter affidavit has been filed in the case. In the circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondent no.2, the Sub-Divisional Officer, Hathua, P.S. Hathua, district- Gopalganj to consider the grievance of the petitioner and dispose of the same within a period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order.
