Respondents. ---------------------------------- 2/ 24.11.2011 The petitioners, who are P.D.S. dealers within Chakki Block in the district of Buxar, pray for quashing letter no. 227 dated 29.06.2011, whereby they have been directed to refund the value of 49.52 quintals of rice, 201.41 quintals of rice and 139.49 quintals of rice respectively at A.P.L. rate of Rs.13.70 per kg. The petitioners submit that the area in question is flood affected. They further submit that certificate case has also been drawn against them. Having heard the counsel for the petitioners and the State, I am of the view that the petitioners should file their representations before the Block Development Officer, Chakki within a period of five weeks from today, which would be disposed of within a further period of three months. In the meantime, petitioner no.1 would deposit the value of 20 quintals of rice, petitioner no.2 would deposit the value of 35 quintals of rice and petitioner no.3 would deposit the value of 25 quintals of rice at the rate of Rs.10/- per kg. within a period of six weeks from today. It will be open for the petitioners 2 to file appropriate objections before the Certificate Officer. No coercive steps would be taken against the petitioners. This application stands disposed of.
