IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.7724 of 2010 MD. ALI HASAN MANSURI, S/O LATE RAJA MANSURI, NATIONAL PRESIDENT, ALL INDIA MULNIWASI, MAHA PASMANDA MUSLIM SANGH, VILL.- CHAK MAHILA, POST CHAK MAHILA, P.S. SITAMARHI, DISTT.- SITAMARHI ………………… PETITIONER Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. THE CHIEF SECRETARY GOVT. OF BIHAR, PATNA 3. DISTRICT RIOT EFFECTED MANAGEMENT OFFICER, SITAMARHI (ZILA APDA PRABANDHAN PADADHIKARI), SITAMARHI 4. THE COLLECTOR, SITAMARHI ………… RESPONDENTS. ----------- 3. 21.06.2010. Heard learned counsel for the parties. After hearing the submissions advanced on behalf of the petitioner it transpires that the petitioner is professing to pursue this case in public interest only to seek reopening of compensation package granted by the Government to riot affected people of Sitamarhi long back. The alleged riot had taken place in 1992. Considering the fact that by now long time has passed and the claim is being made by asserting the right of equality with the riot affected persons of Bhagalpur, we are not inclined to consider the matter as public interest litigation. Hence, this writ petition is dismissed. The petitioner and other similarly situated persons 2 may pursue their personal grievances through appropriate forum. Dilip ( R.M. Doshit, C.J. ) ( Shiva Kirti Singh, J. )
