                                         State of Jharkhand & Ors.

                                           C.A.No.2028 of 2008

                                (Ashok Bhan and Dalveer Bhandari,JJ.)

                                                 14.03.2008

                                                   ORDER

(Arising out of SLP(C) No. 21402/2007)

1. Leave granted.

2. The Single Judge as well as the Division Bench of the High Court have dismissed the writ
petition by observing that the disputed questions of fact are involved which cannot be
decided in a writ petition. We do not subscribe to the view taken by the High Court. In the
present case, there is hardly any question of disputed fact. Facts are evident from the
documents already put on record. No oral evidence is to be led. The High Court in the facts
and circumstances of the case should have decided the writ petition on merits. Since this
matter is a tender matter, we would request the Hon'ble Chief Justice to post the writ petition
before a Single Judge for hearing immediately and we would also request the Single Judge to
decide the writ petition as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of three
months from the posting of the case before him. The Appeal is allowed in the above terms
