                 CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RANA VIKRAM SINGH
                                       ORAL ORDER

2   09-07-2026                   At the very outset, without going into the merit of

                   the case, learned counsel representing the petitioner fairly

                   submits that he will be satisfied if a direction is issued to Circle

                   Officer, Didarganj to dispose off his representation filed on

                   09.04.2026. He further submits that he has also filed a

                   representation before the Collector-cum-District Magistrate,

                   Patna on 02.03.2026 and the Collector, Patna vide memo No.

                   848 dated 07.03.2026 forwarded his representation to the
Patna High Court CWJC No.9975 of 2026(2) dt.09-07-2026
                                            2/3




          concerned Circle Officer, Didarganj for deciding the issue so

          raise in the application but he submits that Circle Officer,

          Didarganj is sitting tight over the matter.

                      2. Learned counsel for the State vehemently opposes

          this prayer of the petitioner by stating that a writ Court cannot

          be allowed to be converted into an executing Court whereby a

          direction could be issued to the subordinate officers of the

          Collector of the District for executing, implementing and

          complying the direction so issued by the Collector.

                      3. The Court finds force in the submission so made on

          behalf of the learned counsel for the State. However, taking a

          very lenient view in the matter, this Court expects that the

          Collector, Patna will take all possible necessary steps within his

          competence and authority to get his order implemented and

          complied by his subordinate officers.

                      4. The High Court is not meant for issuing directions

          for getting the orders passed by or forwarded by the Collector,

          executed. The efficiency and administrative capability of the

          Collector will come into question, if High Court entertains this

          kind of writ application and decide to issue directions to the

          concerned authority, which are subordinate in the administrative

          echelon, to the Collector of the district.

                                5. The Collector, Patna is hereby directed to look into

                    the matter personally and redress the grievances of the

                    petitioner, at the earliest.

                                6. The writ application is disposed of with the

                    aforesaid directions.

                                7. All pending interlocutory application(s), if any,

                    stand/s disposed off.
