Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the State. 2. Petitioners are aggrieved by the order dated 27.11.1987 passed by the Assistant Consolidation Officer in Case No. 468 of 1976, Annexure-1, whereunder the Assistant Consolidation Officer has accepted the compromise entered into by and between Noonu Mahto and Shambhu Mahto with respect to 0.01 decimal of Plot No. 4467 and 0.03 decimal of Plot No. 4468. Aforesaid order has been passed in terms of the provisions contained in Sub-Section (3) of Section 10 of the Bihar Consolidation of Holdings & Prevention of Fragmentation Act, 1956 (hereinafter referred to as the “Act”) which empower the Assistant Consolidation Officer to hear the persons interested and appearing before him and pass orders on the basis of the compromise entered into by them. 3. Aforesaid order was challenged by the petitioners who were not party in the proceeding by filing appeal no. 68/88-89 which has been dismissed under orders dated 4.3.1989, Annexure-2 against which petitioners preferred Revision Case No. 3957/89, that too also has been dismissed under orders dated 7.2.2008, Annexure-4. By filing the writ petition petitioners have assailed the aforesaid three orders on the ground that their objection under Sub-Section (6) of Section 10 of the - 3 - Act with regard to the lands in-question has not been considered by the Consolidation Officer as also the impugned orders have been passed by the revisional authority ignoring the order dated 3.2.1998 passed in Appeal Case No. 873/97 filed by the father of the petitioners, (Annexure-3), whereunder the interest of the petitioners as regards Plot No. 4467, one of the plot in dispute in the present case, has been allowed. 4. Having heard counsel for the petitioners and the State, I am of the view that the interest of the petitioners in Plot No. 4467 is well protected in terms of the orders passed by the Deputy Director, Consolidation dated 3.2.1998, Annexure-3. So far the submission of the petitioners that Plot No. 4469 was not the subject matter of the original proceeding taken before the Assistant Consolidation Officer in Case No. 468/76 which was disposed of under orders dated 27.11.1987, Annexure-1 is concerned petitioners should seek review of the order dated 7.2.2008, Annexure-4 before the Joint Director, Consolidation on the ground that it has travelled beyond its scope as Plot No. 4469 was not the subject matter of the original proceeding could not be included in revisional proceeding. 5. The writ application is, accordingly, disposed of. P.K.P. (V.N.Sinha,J.)
