The petitioner submits that the authorities are under wrong impression that 430 quintals of rice was allotted to him. In fact only 282 quintals of rice was allotted to him. However, the aforesaid rice could not be distributed as no permit was issued for its distribution. The petitioner further submits that he had already deposited a sum of Rs.1,90,000/- which would constitute 75% of the payment even at the rate of Rs.10 per Kgs. The petitioner submits that without due verification, a certificate has been instituted against him. Having considered the facts and circumstances of the case, if the petitioner files a representation within a period of six weeks before the Block Development Officer, Sahdei raising his grievance, the same would be disposed of within three months from the date of its filing in accordance with law. Till then, no coercive steps would be taken against the petitioner. With the aforesaid observations and directions, this writ petition stands disposed of. (S.P.Singh,J) 2
