Patna High Court CWJC No.11912 of 2022 dt.24-08-2022 2/3 After the matter was heard for some time, learned counsel for the petitioner, finding the court not to be in favour of the submissions made across the bar, seeks liberty to (a) approach the respondents venting out his grievances and (b) take recourse to such other alternative remedies as are otherwise available in accordance with law.

Liberty, as prayed for, is granted.

Needless to say that while considering such request, principles of natural justice shall be followed and due opportunity of hearing afforded to the parties. If aggrieved by the said order, the petitioner shall have liberty to approach this Court by way of separate petition(s), if so required and desired.

Equally, liberty is reserved to the petitioner to take recourse to such alternative remedies as are otherwise available in accordance with law.

We are hopeful that as and when petitioner takes recourse to such remedies, as are otherwise available in law, before the appropriate forum, the same shall be dealt with, in accordance with law and with reasonable dispatch. Without expressing any opinion on merits of the claim and leaving all issues on facts and law open, the petition

Patna High Court CWJC No.11912 of 2022 dt.24-08-2022 3/3 stands disposed of in the aforesaid terms.

We may not be misunderstood to have extended the period of limitation or expressed any view on merits. Interlocutory application, if any, shall also stand disposed of.
