                   | Patna, 
                  Jan 15 (IANS) After over a decade, the Patna High Court has 
                  once again used the word 'jungle' while referring to the state 
                  of rule of law in this capital city. "Patna is jungle, there is no 
                  rule of law here," the Patna High Court commented in reference 
                  to the government departments' style of functioning and 
                  mushrooming of apartment blocks in the city in violation of 
                  the rule of law. |  
 The high court 
            stricture gave the opposition leaders in Bihar an opportunity to 
            question Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's claim of good-governance and 
            rule of law. 
 "We demand the state government to reply to the 
            court's remark," Rashtriya Janata Dal MP Ram Kirpal Yadav told IANS.
 
 A high court bench headed by Justice Navin Sinha made the 
            remark Thursday while hearing a petition filed by a Danapur 
            resident, Madhav Rai, who sought stop to illegal construction of an 
            apartment block in his locality.
 
 Several years ago during 
            the chief ministership of Rabri Devi of the RJD, the Patna High 
            Court had described the law and order situation in Bihar as a 
            "jungle raj". The high court comment was used as a major issue by 
            the then opposition and now ruling NDA in the state for its 
            political purposes.
 
     comments... High court is very much right by comparing Patna with Jungle. It is not less than that. The jungle is so much penetrated that it is very hard to clean it. The scandals which are going on in Patna University for admissions to BED course 2010 is one  of the latest live example. I want to put light on this.  A lot of permutation and combinations is going on. Meritorious students are the biggest losers. Just 3 days ago Gopal Kumar was the rank 1 in PH quota. Now somebody else who had not appeared for examination, is enjoying the position. On asking the clerical babus (they are not less than that) their comment is “ unka nam (who has given 1st position) gupt rup se tha, ab gopal kumar rank 2 ho gaye hai”. Nitish kumar should give a watch over such irregularities in Bihar higher  education system. It is my request to you, please give some more light over this issue. i only believe in media which have the capability to educate the public to fight corruption. If our education institutions are so deeply corrupted what we can think about other departments. I just wish when our Bihar will become least corrupted state!!!!.

 --------------------------------------------- Completely agree with Mr. Raj. 
              Good initiatives as well as shortcomings of the Government should 
              come out to the Fore. Bihartimes has done great job. I was following 
              Bihartimes on 24th November during the Vote Counting day. And 
              Bihartimes was the first to give the clear picture at around 11:30 
              AM ahead of any other news channel or web site.
 There are lot 
              of good things going on in Bihar as well as bad things. There is a 
              need to publish both kind of reports 
              honestly.

 -------------------------------------------------- In recent days I have seen reports about 
            discrimination by media regarding publishing news in Bihar, on 
            this site. This will not take Bihar anywhere, one
 day the bubble 
            will burst and media men will be losers. They would still have
 some power but no credibility at all. Nobody will believe 
            them.
 Truth can not be and should not be concealed.
 This 
            portal is commendable job. I have been following this for last 3-4 
            years
 and am pleased with their reporting.
 No website of any 
            leading newspaper from Bihar has published this news
 regarding 
            Patna HCs outbursts and no one has commented and complained
 on 
            this site
 I am afraid everything is going so well in Bihar.
 Publish honest reports and save democracy 
            and Bihar. Raj
