Petitioners raise a grievance with respect to the order dated 5.7.2010, passed by respondent-Collector, Vaishali wherein based on a report submitted by the revenue authority, it has been found that the land appertaining to khatna no.795, khesra no.728 measuring an area of 9.18 acre and the land appertaining to khatna no.800, khesra no.696 measuring an area of 3.86 acre are government lands as reflected from the revenue 2 records and, as such, the same may be deleted from the requisition for acquisition and can be transferred. Learned counsel for the State submits that the claim of title made on the said lands as raised by the petitioners herein cannot be decided in a writ proceeding and, that too, titling the application as Land Acquisition matter. In view of aforesaid facts, petitioners, if so advised, may take recourse to other forum as is available to them in law for redressal of grievance(s). The application stands disposed of. hr ( Kishore K. Mandal )
