IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA
MJC No.2301 of 2010
NAKA SAHANI AND OTHERS
Versus
THE STATE OF BIHAR AND ORTHERS
-----------
05. 9.3.2011 Having heard learned counsel for the petitioners and
learned counsel for the State, the stand has been taken on behalf of
the State that payments have been made to all the rightful
claimants who have appeared and produced evidence by
submission of log-book. In addition to that, payment has been
decided to be made by account payee cheque in favour of the
beneficiaries. Both the stands cannot be said to unreasonable on
behalf of the State.
In that view of the matter all those petitioners who
have not yet received their compensation, they are free to
approach the authority with due evidence with regard to their
claim and the authority shall endeavour to sort out the issue
because quite some time has passed since their boats were
requisitioned and had not been returned or returned in a
damaged condition.
The contempt application stands disposed of with
above observation.
