THE DISTRICT MAGISTRATE, PATNA – RESPONDENTS. ----------- 2/ 13-05-2011 After hearing the matter for some time, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner has taken a very fair stand that the dispute involved in the present proceeding can be effectively decided by a civil court of competent jurisdiction only, as the petitioner is claiming his right and title over the land in question, whereas according to the respondents, lands in question have been acquired under the provisions of Land Acquisition Act by the competent authority. In the circumstances of the case, a prayer has been made by the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner, to withdraw the writ petition with a liberty to approach the civil court of competent jurisdiction for getting his right and title declared over the land in 2 question. Permission is accorded. Writ petition stands dismissed as withdrawn with the liberty, aforesaid. It goes without saying that if any suit is filed by the petitioner before a civil court of competent jurisdiction, then that shall be decided in accordance with law expeditiously.
