The claimants in the mean time has filed a certificate case through the court of dist.judge before the competent court to start recovery proceeding under bihar &orissa public demand recovery act after about 6 months lapse of time of filing above mentioned appeal in the HIGH court by the certificate debtor .The certificate debtor after receiving notice from the cert.court has filed show cause that they had already preferred an appeal 6 months back in the High court against the order passed by the M.A.C.T. court which is much earlier than filing certificate case and the notice has already been issued as such this cetificate case is not maintainable .They have also quoted sec 10 of c.p.c.also in support of their plea.
