Mr. Prabhat Kumar Verma -AAG-3 ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE and HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR UPADHYAY ORAL ORDER (Per: HONOURABLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE) 06-01-2020 The petition filed on 23.08.2018 is listed for hearing for the first time today before the Court.

Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the respondents.

Petitioner has prayed for the following relief: "For issuance of an appropriate writ or writs directing the respondent authorities to make an investigation through independent agency i.e.

Patna High Court CWJC No.16786 of 2018(2) dt.06-01-2020 2/3 State Vigilance, Economic Offence Unit etc. regarding misappropriation of public fund/money by private-respondent no.7 while working as the Chairman of the PACS in question and/or to grant any other relief/reliefs for which the petitioner is legally entitled in the facts and circumstances of the case."

After the matter was heard for some time, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner shall be content if a direction is issued to the concerned respondents to consider and decide the representation, which the petitioner shall be making afresh within a period of four weeks from today. Learned counsel for the State states that upon receipt of such request, if any, the same shall be dealt with in accordance with law, expeditiously and positively within a period of three months from the date of receipt thereof. Equally, liberty is reserved to the petitioner to take recourse to such alternative remedies as are otherwise available in accordance with law.

We are hopeful that as and when petitioner takes recourse to such remedies, as are otherwise available in law,
