Respondents. ---------------------------------- 2/ 23.09.2011 The petitioner, who is a P.D.S. dealer within Manihari Block in the district of Katihar, prays for quashing letter nos. 617 and 618 dated 11.08.2011, issued under the signature of Programme Officer, Manihari, whereby he has been directed to deposit the undistributed rice under SGRY Scheme. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that as per letter no.617 dated 11.08.2011 of Programme Officer, Manihari only 45 quintals of rice remained undistributed, whereas as per letter no. 618 dated 11.08.2011 the quantity of rice remained with the petitioner has been shown as 809 quintals of rice. Earlier similar matters had come up before this Court in C.W.J.C. No. 711 of 2011 (Awadh Prasad Singh Vs. The State of Bihar & Ors.) & C.W.J.C. No. 757 of 2011 (Suresh Prasad @ Raj Kumar Vs. The State of Bihar & Ors.). The aforesaid writ applications have been disposed of by order dated 06.07.2011 after noticing the submissions of learned counsel for the parties. As the facts and issues are common, the order dated 06.07.2011 passed in C.W.J.C. No. 711 of 2011 and C.W.J.C. No. 757 of 2011 would 2 also govern the instant writ petition. The writ petition is disposed of in terms of the order dated 06.07.2011 passed in C.W.J.C. No. 711 of 2011 and C.W.J.C. No. 757 of 2011 including interim protection as mentioned therein, with the condition that the petitioner would either deposit 50% of the value of undistributed rice at Rs.10 per Kg. or the rice itself as would appear from letter no. 617 dated 11.08.2011 of respondent no.5, if already not deposited within six weeks. The petitioner would file a detailed representation before respondent no.5 within six weeks, who would dispose of the same within a further period of eight weeks. It would be made clear that this Court has not expressed any opinion regarding the quantity of rice that would remain undistributed with the petitioner. Uday/ (Samarendra Pratap Singh, J.)
