Mr. Shailendra Kumar Singh and Mr. Utkarsha Utpal, Advocates ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA and HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE MOHIT KUMAR SHAH ORAL JUDGMENT (Per: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA) Date : 02-02-2022 The matter has been heard via video conferencing. Heard learned counsel for the parties.

The petitioner has challenged the public notice which appeared in the newspaper 'Hindustan' dated 8th July, 2020. The

Patna High Court CWJC No.10841 of 2020 dt.02-02-2022 2/2 notice was issued by Bihar State Food and Civil Supplies Corporation Limited (BSFC). It was proposed to put on auction sale the respective property pledged by the defaulter Millers including that of the petitioner in light of orders dated 28.02.2017 and 13.08.2018 passed by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in SLP(Crl.) No. 1779 of 2016 and SLP(Crl.) No. 9196 of 2017 respectively.

Learned counsel are ad idem that the respondents have not put the pledged property on auction sale. The date of auction sale stated in the impugned notice was 28th July, 2020. Admittedly, the auction sale has not taken place till date. The impugned notice has thus outlived its life. This Court need not adjudicate upon the same.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, the writ petition is disposed off as having become infructuous. (Rajan Gupta, J) (Mohit Kumar Shah, J) P. Kumar/Anand Kr.
