The State of Bihar & Ors.). The aforesaid writ applications have been disposed of by order dated 06.07.2011 2 after noticing the submissions of learned counsel for the parties. The petitioner submits that vide notice general demand of payment has been made without specifying the quantity of rice that has remained undistributed with him. 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 also govern in this writ application as well. This writ petition is, accordingly, 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 15% of the value of undistributed rice at Rs.10/- per kilogram or the rice itself, if already not deposited within two months. The respondents would be obliged to furnish the due information regarding the quantity of undistributed rice that has remained with petitioner within four weeks. This order would not come in the way of petitioner and other dealers similarly placed, if they want to deposit the value of rice or rice itself in excess of 20 %. Let a copy of this order be forwarded to the District Magistrate, Begusarai. Shashi. (Samarendra Pratap Singh,J.)
