IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.2201 of 2011 Rekha Ranjan WIFE OF SRI JAINENDRA KUMAR RESIDENT OF LODIPUR, WARD NO. 2, P.S. MANER, DISTRICT PATNA. Versus The State Of Bihar & Ors . ----------- 2 30/06/2011 When the petitioner approached the High Court earlier in a writ application, her writ application was disposed of with a direction upon the District Magistrate to decide her case after hearing the parties within eight weeks. It seems that the District Magistrate passed the order without hearing the petitioner as is alleged in the writ application. Petitioner had to move the Divisional Commissioner against that order making a grievance on this score. The Divisional Commissioner disposed of the so called appeal of the petitioner giving direction to the District Magistrate to give her a chance for hearing and dispose of the original appeal. This order was passed way back on 23.12.2008 from then many a District Magistrates have come and gone. So far as the decision of the superior authority and the High Court is concerned, it has been allowed to languish without any result. This has created yet another - 2 - litigation of frivolous kind merely because of inaction on the part of the District Magistrate. Taking cognizance of such a back ground, this writ application is disposed of with a direction upon the District Magistrate, Patna (respondent no. 3) that he should also find time for ordinary citizen despite his commitments to powers that be or the so called more urgent work, which is required to be done by him, dependent upon his understanding. If the issue of the petitioner is not disposed of within eight weeks from the date of production or communication of this order, the Court may have something more to record on the issue. This writ application stands disposed of with the observation aforesaid. AMIN/ (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
