Re: Letters Patent Appeal No.381 of 2017 The present Letters Patent Appeal is directed against an order passed by the learned Single Bench of this Court on 27.08.2014 deciding the writ application in light of the order passed in C.W.J.C. No. 9133 of 2014 (M/s Shivam Mini Modern Rice Mill vs. The State of Bihar & Ors.) decided on 22.07.2014.

L.P.A. No. 1709 of 2014 against the said judgment stands decided vide judgment reported as 2015(4) PLJR 422 (Arvind Kumar vs. State of Bihar).

It is pointed out by learned counsel for the appellant that the order passed in Letters Patent Appeal has since been partly modified on 23rd August, 2016 in Civil Review No. 150 of 2015 (Rohit Rice Mill vs. The State of Bihar and Ors.).
