IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.17015 of 2009 1. BRAJ KISHORE SINGH @ GORE LAL SINGH S/O LATE AMBIKA SINGH R/V - MEHDA SHAHPUR, P.S.- CHERIABARIARPUR, DISTT.- BEGUSARAI Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. THE COLLECTOR BEGUSARAI 3. THE SUB DIVISIONAL OFFICER MANJHAUL, DISTT.- BEGUSARAI 4. THE CIRCLE OFFICER CHERIABARIARPUR, DISTT.- BEGUSARAI 5. THE CIRCLE INSPECTOR CHERIABARIARPUR, DISTT.- BEGUSARAI ----------- 2. 13.12.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. A counter affidavit is stated to have been filed on behalf of the State on 8.12.2010. It is not available on record. Let the office trace it and put on record. The Court requested the learned State counsel to make available his copy for perusal so as not to hold up the proceedings on that ground. The claim relates to grant of compensation for loss of crops on account of flood under an executive policy framed by the State Government. The policy has not been brought on record either on behalf of the petitioner or the State. In absence of the policy, there is no occasion for the Court to consider the contentions made by the parties. Those are matters to be considered appropriately by the District Magistrate when he examines the claims of the petitioner and hears other concerned whom he feels appropriate and shall then pass a reasoned and speaking order in light of such policy decision within a maximum 2 period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. Needless to state that if the District Magistrate finds justification in the claim or in any part of the claim, necessary consequential orders shall be issued simultaneously. The writ application stands disposed. P. Kumar ( Navin Sinha, J.)
