The petitioners , who are the licensee under the 1984 Unification Order as well as under the Public Distribution System (Control) Order, 2001 pray for quashing the memo issued by the concerned authorities, directing refund of value of undistributed rice under Sampurna Gramin Rojgar Yojana/FFW scheme at APL rate. Earlier similar matters had come up before this Court in C.W.J.C. No. 711 of 2011 (Awadh Prasad Singh Vs. The State of Bihar & Ors.) & C.W.J.C. No. 757 of 2011 (Suresh Prasad @ Raj Kumar Vs. The State of Bihar & Ors.). The aforesaid writ applications have been disposed of by order dated 06.07.2011 after noticing the submissions of learned counsel for the parties. As the facts and issues are common, the order dated 06.07.2011 passed in C.W.J.C. No. 711 of 2011 and C.W.J.C. No. 757 of 2011 would also govern this writ application as well. These writ petitions are accordingly disposed of in terms of the order dated 06.07.2011 passed in C.W.J.C. No. 711 of 2011 and C.W.J.C. No. 757 of 2011 including interim protection as mentioned therein, with the condition that the petitioners would either deposit 15% of the value of undistributed rice at Rs.10/- per kilogram or the rice itself in present form, if already not deposited. This order would not come in the way of petitioners and other dealers similarly placed, if they want to deposit the value of rice or rice itself in excess of 20 %. Shashi.
