IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.10646 of 2009 SHEKHAR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 02. 25.08.2009 Decisive intervention by a Division Bench of this Court in the case of Dwivedi Surendra Vs. State of Bihar, 2007 (3) PLJR 76, and even initiation of contempt proceeding against all the District Magistrates of the State at that point of time, has had no effect because District Magistrates have gone back to what they were doing as is evident from the pleadings of this case. It is yet another matter when an application made in the year 2006 on behalf of the petitioner for grant of arms licence has been kept in abeyance despite enquiry having been made at various levels including the Superintendent of Police. The writ application is disposed of with a direction upon the District Magistrate, Supaul to take a decision within a time-frame of three months. If the same is not done, next time the Court will initiate suo motu contempt and take it to its logical conclusion. The writ application is disposed of with above observation. rkp (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J)
