Dinesh Kumar Yadav Vs. State of Bihar and ors.

Court: Patna

Decided on: Jul-27-1999

Aftab Alam, J.1. Multiplicity of legislation tends to create jurisdictional penumbra where one is not quite clear whether it is open to him to take an action or whether that particular action lawfully belongs to some other authority. In that circumstance an act done with perfect good intent and in larger public interest may yet fall down on grounds of being unauthorised by law. This is what appears to have happened in this case.2. Having regard to the rapid development of Rajgir as a place of historic, religious and tourist attraction the district administration constructed there a bus stand at an expense of Rs. 27 lakhs.

It was also directed that the vehicles would pay fees at rates prescribed in that order. This order is sought to be challenged by the petitioner who is a passenge...
