JITENDRA KUMAR RAY vs STATE OF JHARKHAND . — C.A. No. 6496/2010

Summary: The Supreme Court granted leave and allowed Jitendra Kumar Ray's appeal against the Jharkhand High Court's dismissal of his writ petition challenging certificate proceedings. The Court found that the Certificate Officer failed to properly serve the certificate copy as required under Section 7 of the Bihar and Orissa Public Demands Recovery Act, 1914, serving only the notice instead. The Court set aside both the Division Bench and Single Bench orders and remanded the matter to the Certificate Officer for fresh determination after providing Ray with a copy of the certificate and permitting him to file fresh objections. No costs awarded. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
