Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 3 21/07/2010 A short submission is made at the Bar by the learned counsel representing the petitioner that in light of the ratio decided in the case of Ram Anugrah Singh Vs. State of Bihar and others reported in 1992 B.B.C.J., 440 the memorial decided by the Regional Inspector General of Police is no decision in the eye of law.

Liberty is granted to the petitioner to file a copy of memorial filed by him before the Regional Inspector - 2 - General of Police, afresh which shall be considered and decided by the “Inspector General of Police” under section 4 of the Police Act. This writ application is thus allowed. AMIN (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
