Patna High Court CWJC No.3571 of 2016 dt.28-01-2017 2/2 signal.

For every wrong in the society, the writ jurisdiction is not the sole remedy. If there is any illegality committed, the State is bound to take action against the defaulting licensees and if the petitioner has any information, he can give that information to the competent authority, but this Court cannot interfere in every wrong allegedly committed by the licensees of Public Distribution System. In view thereof, we do not find that any orders are required to be called for in the present writ application. Accordingly, the same is dismissed.
