IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA LPA No.1041 of 2007 INDRADEO RAWAT, son of Vishwanath Rawat, resident of village- Sri Chand Nawada, Ward no.5, P.S. Jamui, District Jamui…respondent…appellant Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. The Additional collector, Jamui 3. The Deputy Collector, Land Reforms, Jamui…respondent--respondent 4. Mathura Pandit 5. Basudeo Pandit 6. Bindeshwari Pandit @ Bino Pandit 7. Madan Pandit All sons of late Shyam Pandit, resident of Sri Chand Nawada, Ward no.5, P.S. Jamui, Dist. Jamui ----------- 7 20-04-2009 Heard the parties and perused the order of the writ court whereby the writ petition has been allowed and the order of the revenue authorities interfering with two Jamabandis created in favour of the writ petitioners have been quashed. The Jamabandis were created in favour of the writ petitioners long back on the basis of two sale deeds one executed by Bibi Ayesha in the year 1960 and other by one Rama Devi in the year 1965. The writ court has rightly taken the view that any existing Jamabandi can be corrected only if there has been any change in title with respect to the land either by way of transaction through sale deeds, through inheritance or gift or an order passed by the competent court relating to title over the concerned land. In the present case the revenue authorities proceeded to cancel the Jamabandis on grounds so as to render the two sale deeds of 1960 and 1965 invalid. Clearly the revenue authorities had no such jurisdiction and they could not have treated the sale deeds to be invalid. We find no good ground to interfere with the impugned judgement and order under appeal. The - 2 - appeal is, therefore, dismissed. It goes without saying that, if so advised, the appellant may approach the civil court for appropriate relief in accordance with law. BKS/ (Shiva Kirti Singh,J.) (Dharnidhar Jha, J.)
