IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.3315 of 2011 Bibi Tunia Versus The State Of Bihar & Ors ----------- 2 29.7.2011 The petitioner is the daughter of late Md. Faruddin who was killed in village Rusalpur, P.S. Rajoun in the district of Bhagalpur in Bhagalpur riot in the year 1989. The Circle Officer after enquiry too found that the father of the petitioner was killed during the 1989 Bhagalpur riot and as such vide his letter no.504 dated 23.10.2008 made recommendation for grant of compensation. Counsel for the petitioner makes a grievance that the recommendation of the Circle Officer for grant of compensation to the petitioner is still pending before the District Magistrate, Banka Counsel for the State seeks time to file counter affidavit. In view of the nature of order that I propose to pass, I do not find any reason to wait for the counter affidavit. It appears that the Circle Officer made recommendation for grant of compensation to the petitioner in the year 2008 as would be evident from Annexure-1. This writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the District Magistrate, Banka to dispose of the recommendation for grant of compensation to the petitioner expeditiously preferably within three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order.
