IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.2202 of 2010 SHANKAR KUMAR SON OF SRI VISHWANATH PANDIT RESIDENT OF MOHALLA RANIPUR KHIRKI UPER KI GALI PATNA CITY, P.S. MEHDIGANJ, DISTRICT PATNA. Versus 1. PATNA MUNICIPAL CORPORATION PATNA THROUGH ITS CHAIRMAN. 2. ADMINISTRATOR, PATNA MUNICIPAL CORPORATION, PATNA. 3. DEPUTY ADMINISTRATOR, PATNA MUNICIPAL CORPORATION, PATNA. ----------- 2 09/02/2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. Issue is non-payment of his bills for supply of licence Tin Tickets to the Patna Municipal Corporation way back in the year 1992. Since payment had not been made for many a years, the petitioner has sought certain information under Right to Information Act and response to the said information is Annexure-1 dated 14.09.2009. From the information provided it emerges that a kind of assurance for payment within two months was indicated in the said information. But since the time frame has not been kept, the petitioner has approached this Court in the present writ application. In the normal course of things this Court may not have been inclined to pass any direction in favour of the petitioner due to the staleness of the claim and dues to which - 2 - the bills relate i.e. 1992-93. But since the respondents have themselves indicated that the only reason why the payment was not made is non-availability of the concerned file and they have expressed desire to settle the bill within two months, this writ application is disposed of with a direction to the respondent Patna Municipal Corporation to do the needful atleast in the next two months. This writ application stands disposed of. AMIN (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
