2026:JHHC:24895 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI W.P.(C) No. 6422 of 2024 M/S. Jai Maa Tara, through its Proprietor Ranjit Kumar Rawani, son of Late Ratan Rawani, resident of Chouthal Kulhi, Near Tiwari Mandir, Jharia, P.O. & P.S.-Jharia, Dist.-Dhanbad, State-Jharkhand. .... Petitioner(s) -Versus- 1. The State of Jharkhand. 2. Deputy Commissioner, Dhanbad. 3. Senior Superintendent of Police, Dhanbad. 4. The Bharat Coking Coal Ltd. through its Chairman-cum-Managing Director, Koyla Bhavan, At Koyla Nagar, P.O. & P.S.-Koyla Nagar, Dist.-Dhanbad. … Respondent(s) ------ CORAM : SRI ANANDA SEN, J. ------ For the Petitioner(s): Mr. Ranjan Kumar, Advocate For BCCL: Mr. Manish Kumar, Advocate. ------ 04/18.08.2026 Heard the parties. 2. In this writ petition, the petitioner has prayed for direction upon the respondent to show cause as to why no action be taken in the matter of stopping the petitioner from lifting 200, 500 and 1000 metric tons of coal, which has been auction purchased from the BCCL vide sale order dated 01.02.2024, 25.2.2024 and 24.5.2024, respectively. 3. It is the grievance of the petitioner that inspite of participating in the e-auction process conducted by BCCL and in spite of the fact that he has purchased the coal after successful bidding, he has not been allowed to lift the coal. 4. After hearing the parties, I find that the sale orders are of the year 2024. In the counter affidavit, the BCCL has taken a specific stand disputing the claim of the petitioner. They have admitted the allotment of the coal but stated that the petitioner himself could not lift the entire coal. They have categorically stated that against the quantity of coal which has been un-lifted, the BCCL has refunded the coal value amounting to Rs. 23,517.76 on 9.5.2024 for the sale order dated 01.02.2024. They have also refunded the amount of Rs.11,977.51 on 17.5.2024 and Rs.46,44,830.49 on 27.9.2024 against the sale orders dated 25.2.2024 and 24.5.2024 respectively. 5. Thus, from the statement made in a writ petition, it is quite clear that it is the petitioner who could not lift the coal and in fact the value of the quantity of un-lifted coal has already been refunded to the petitioner. 6. In view of the aforesaid facts, no relief can be granted to the petitioner. Accordingly, this writ petition is dismissed accordingly. Pending interlocutory applications, if any, stand disposed of.
