JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR ORAL ORDER 10-08-2015 Heard Sri Alok Kumar @ Alok Kumar Shahi, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri S.D.Sanjay, Addl. Soliciter General, who has appeared on behalf of all the Respondents. The petitioner i.e. M/S Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd. has approached this Court, invoking its writ jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, with a prayer to quash a notice issued to him i.e. notice dated 29/30th March, 2010, whereby the petitioner was directed to file show cause.
Of course, in the prayer portion, a colour has been given that it was a demand notice of Rs.13,06,500/-. On perusal of
Patna High Court CWJC No.9115 of 2011 (6) dt.10-08-2015 2/2 Annexure-1 to the writ petition, it appears that it is a show cause notice asking the petitioner to file show cause. The Court is of the opinion that notice has been issued to file show cause and, accordingly, the petitioner was required to approach the authority concerned and explain whatever he wanted. At least in a case of issuance of notice, writ jurisdiction of this Court may not invoke. The writ petition stands dismissed.
