I find that several disputed questions of fact have been raised in the present writ application which cannot be adjudicated in a summary manner on the basis of exchange of affidavits. Furthermore, no final order has been passed pursuant to the inquiry reports submitted by the Programme Officers of Kursakata and Forbesganj Blocks of Araria district. 4.

In that view of the matter, I am not inclined to entertain the present writ application. It is dismissed, accordingly. (Ashwani Kumar Singh, J.) Kanchan/- AFR/NAFR NAFR CAV DATE NA Uploading Date 17.05.2017 Transmission Date NA
