IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.2401 of 2005 LAKSHMESHWAR JHA & ORS Versus STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 8. 13.7.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the State. The application has been filed on 14.9.2005 for restoration of C.W.J.C.No. 7821 of 1995 which stood dismissed for non- compliance of the order dated 24.1.1996 of this Court. Not a single date is mentioned in the restoration application showing any reason as to how it took more than nine years in filing the restoration application. On the other hand, the petitioners have alleged that the case stood dismissed not only on account of the laches of the petitioners but due to wrong stamp reporting made by the office and according to the petitioners there is no order passed by the Additional Collector, West Champaran at Bettiah on 20.6.1991 in Land Ceiling Case No. 35 of 1975-76. From a perusal of paragraph 1 of the writ petition it is evident that the petitioners themselves have referred to the order dated 20.6.1991 passed by the Additional Collector, 2 West Champaran at Bettiah in connection with Land Ceiling Case No. 35 of 1975-76. Hence the allegation made by the petitioners against the stamp reporting is wholly unjustified and the same is made in the same negligent manner as the case has been conducted on their behalf. There appears to be no genuine reason for restoring the writ petition. The application is, accordingly, dismissed. (Ramesh Kumar Datta,J.) spal/
