The petitioner, invoking writ jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, has prayed for quashing of an order dated 09-03-2012, contained in Memo No. 761 dated 11-03-2013, passed by the Principal Chief Conservator of Forest, Bihar, whereby, representation filed by the petitioner, pursuant to order passed in C.W.J.C. No. 21799 of 2012, has been rejected. The petitioner had claimed for inclusion of his name in the list prepared by the department in respect of saw mill. On perusal of the order impugned and materials on

Patna High Court CWJC No.11569 of 2014 (3) dt.11-08-2015 2/2 record, it is evident that after the enactment of Bihar Saw Mills (Regulation) Act, 1990 and Bihar Saw Mills Rules, 1993, the petitioner was never granted any licence. In absence of any licence, the Principal Chief Conservator of Forest has rightly rejected the claim of petitioner from inclusion of his name in the list.

The writ petition stands dismissed.
