3. The District Magistrate Muzaffarpur.

4. The Deputy Development Commissioner Muzaffarpur. .... .... Respondents ====================================================== Appearance :

For the Petitioner : Mr. Rajesh Dayal, Advocate For the State : Mr. Anil Kumar, A.C. to S.C.10 ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE DR. JUSTICE RAVI RANJAN ORAL ORDER 20-04-2015 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Petitioner claims that on oral order of the respondent nos.3 and 4, he has supplied some articles on the eve of World Environment Day 2009. However, despite representation having been filed and the fact that the petitioner had approached the Commissioner who had also directed the District Magistrate to look into the matter and take necessary step, nothing has been done.

In such a situation, this writ application is being disposed of granting liberty to the petitioner to approach the District Magistrate, Muzaffarpur, i.e., respondent no.3, who also happens to be the convener of the District Programme

Patna High Court CWJC No.4156 of 2015 (2) dt.20-04-2015 2/2 Coordinator. If such representation is filed, let him examine the matter and take steps for payment of admitted dues to the petitioner, if any, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. It is made clear that if the admitted amount is not paid to the petitioner within such period then that would carry simple interest @ 10% per annum to be calculated from the date it became due till its final payment. It is further made clear that if the respondent no.3 comes to the conclusion that no amount is due then a reasoned order should be passed and that should be communicated immediately to the petitioner so that he would be able to assail the same before a competent forum.
