SURJA KANTA NASKAR Vs. STATE OF WEST BENGAL

JUDGEMENT

(1.) The petitioner is aggrieved by the decision of the Block Development Officer, Magrahat II South 24 Parganas dated October 6th, 2005, which is:

(2.) He moved a previous writ petition [No. 21675 (W) of 2004] alleging that although the body concerned enlisted him for getting benefit in terms of Indira Abas Yozona so that he could construct his residential house, the authorities were not disbursing the amount. He further alleged that his representation dated February 4th, 2004 made to the block development officer was not considered as well. By order dated July 27th, 2005 that writ petition was disposed of directing the block development officer to give a reasoned decision regarding the grievances narrated in his representation dated February 4th, 2004. This is how the impugned decision came to be given.

(3.) By order dated February 20th, 2006 this writ petition was admitted in presence of advocate for the state. Directions were given for filing affidavits. No affidavit has been filed. The matter was taken up for hearing on December 7th, 2006. Since none appeared on that date, I directed advocate for the petitioner to give a notice to advocate for the respondents. It is submitted that notice was given. None appears for the respondents even today. It seems to me that the respondents have taken the matter casually. In para 2 of the writ petition if has been alleged that for the financial year 2002-03 the petitioner was enlisted as the number one beneficiary. He mentioned about the resolution of the competent body dated October 30th, 2002. That fact was also mentioned by him in his representation dated February 4th, 2004. That representation was to be considered by the block development officer in terms of order of this Court dated July 27th, 2005.
