Petitioner raises a grievance with respect to order dated 30.08.20011(Annexure-4) passed by the respondent Deputy Collector, Land Reforms, Benipatti in case no. 44 of 2010-11 (Sadhana Jha vs. Arun Jha & Anr.). While assailing the order, it is contended that in view of complex question(s) of title involved the authority under the Bihar Land Disputes Resolution Act, 2009 ( for short ‘Act’) is not competent to entertain the application and pass the impugned order. He also criticized the order on the ground that the respondent- Deputy Collector has, in fact, decided right, title and interest over the disputed land which is beyond the jurisdiction of the authority under the Act. Learned counsel for the State, on the other hand, contended that the order is appealable in terms of Section 14 thereof. Since the statute itself provides a remedy of appeal where all issues of fact and law can be agitated and gone into this Court is not inclined to invoke its extraordinary and discretionary writ jurisdiction in the matter. The petitioner can approach the appellate authority for redressal of his grievance. In case any such appeal is filed the appellate authority/forum shall consider the issue raised by the petitioner and dispose of the appeal in accordance with law as quickly as possible preferably within 03 months of its filing/presentation.
