ORAL JUDGMENT
(Per: HONOURABLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE) Date : 18-06-2026 None enters appearance for Respondent No. 8.
2. We have heard learned counsel for the petitioner, who is aggrieved by the Public Distribution System dealer, who happens to be Respondent No. 8, who did not distribute consumer goods during the financial years 2010-2011, 2011-2012 and 2012-2013.
3. It is alleged that on account of such non- distribution, widespread corruption has taken place. It is the Patna High Court CWJC No.4964 of 2026 dt.18-06-2026 2/2 case of the petitioner further that the Respondent No.8, who was appointed as a Public Distribution System dealer at Sihpur, Block- Vijaipur from the first merit-list, issued by the authority to grant Public Distribution System License had submitted forged documents in connivance with the Appointment Committee and was thereby not eligible to be a dealer.
4. Learned counsel for the State submits that the petitioner appears to have a personal issue with the respondent no.8.
5. Having given due consideration to the submissions and having perused the averments, we are of the considered view that the instant petition cannot be entertained as a Public Interest Litigation and deserves to be dismissed and disposed of.
6. The petition is accordingly dismissed and disposed of.
