IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.5276 of 2009 KISHORI RAM Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2. 24.4.2009 It has been stated in Paragraph 10 of the application that the petitioner has already moved before the appellate authority. If he has availed the alternative remedy, before coming to this Court, there is no occasion for this Court to entertain the writ application. It is accordingly dismissed. Dismissal of this application by this Court for the aforesaid reason shall not detract from the statutory obligation of the statutory authority to dispose of the application of the petitioner within the statutory time fixed in Rule 2 of the notification creating the authority. It is clarified that the refusal of this Court to entertain the writ application for the aforesaid reason shall not be construed by the authority as refusal of relief and it shall not proceed on any assumption on that basis as this Court has not gone into the merits which is to be decided by the authority by a reasoned and speaking order. No liberty is needed for the petitioner to file additional pleading before the appellate authority which is a matter of right to be exercised reasonably. P. Kumar (Navin Sinha, J.)
