Respondents ----------- 02- 17.2.2009 Heard Mr. Bhubneshwar Prasad for the petitioners, learned AC to Govt. Advocate no.X, and Mr. Sanjay Kumar for respondent no.4. It arises out of the proceedings under the Bihar Privileged Persons Homestead Tenancy Act 1947. It is with respect to Khesra no.3023, covering an area of 14 dhurs, appertaining to khata no.101. The application of respondent no.4 for issuance of Basgit Parcha with respect to this land was allowed by order dated 3.6.71 (Annexure 2), passed by the learned Anchal Adhikari in Basgit Case No. 30/70-71, whereby his claim was allowed and consequently Basgit Parcha was issued. The petitioner claims to be a purchaser from the land owner by his sale deed dated 12.3.2005. The petitioner has come before this Court after a lapse of 36 years. Law is well settled that the aggrieved party must move the Court before parallel rights are created and allowed to be retrenched by lapse of time, laches, and negligence. It is, therefore, not possible to entertain this writ petition on the ground of enormous delay. - 2 - 2. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. ( S K Katriar ) mrl
