IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.7967 of 2009 KANISHK SINHA s/o Dr.Bimal Bihari Sinha, resident of C/ O. Chaitali Sinha., Alaswani marg, P.O.B.V.College, P.S. Shastrinagar,Patna, Distrit-Patna. Versus 1. THE UNION OF INDIA through Technopreneur Promotion Programme (Tepp),Depatment of Scientific & Industrial Research, Ministry of Science &Technology,Govt. of India, Technology Bhawan, New mahrauli Road, New Delhi- 110016. 2. The State of Bihar through Secretary, Department of Science & Technology,Bihar. ----------- For the Petitioner : In person. For the UOI : Mr. Satyendra Kuamr Jha, Central Government counsel. 3 19.11.2009 Petitioner claims to be a scientific innovator and had applied to Tepp, a Government of India Institution meant for encouragement of scientific innovation. Under the scheme of Govt. of India in this regard certain subsidies are given to innovator Petitioner claims to have invented an engine which runs without consumption of any fuel and without polluting air. His invention has been widely accepted. He has formed a company in the United State with substantial share holder of one billion but the Govt. of India without appraising this technology, has rejected it for different reasons by different communications; at times saying technology was unviable; at times saying that the financial requirement of the petitioner was high. Petitioner wants a reconsideration by the Govt. of India. In my view, even in a bureaucratic State once such an administrative decision is taken. it does not act as res judicata for in 2 an administrative action res judicata does not apply. If the petitioner makes an application completing due formality once again,Govt. of India in the concerned department would consider the same with just feasibility and with scientific temperament and take a decision appropriate in the facts and circumstances of the case. This disposes of the writ petition. Singh (Navaniti Prasad Singh, J.)
