IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA LPA No.931 of 2009 ---- Munilal Mandal son of Bhagwat Mandal, Resident of Village Bhag Kohalia, P.O. and P.S. Forbesgunj, District- Araria. -- Petitioner-Appellant. Versus 1. The State Of Bihar 2. The Collector, Araria, District-Araria. 3. The Deputy Collector, Land Reforms, Forbesgunj, District Araria. 4. Raman Lal Mandal son of Late Chintu Mandal 5. Jagdish Mandal son of Bhagwat Mandal. Respondent no.2 4 and 5 are resident of Bhag Kohalia, P.O.& P.S. Forbesgunj, District-Araria. -- Respondents-Respondents. ----- For the appellant : Mr. Brajesh Tiwary, Advocate. For the respondents : None. ---- 03. 28.01.2010 I.A.No.4430 of 2009 This is an application for condonation of delay of 133 days in preferring the appeal. Before dwelling upon the issue as regards condonation of delay, we have thought it seemly to hear the learned counsel for the appellant on merits of the appeal. After having heard learned counsel for the appellant and on a perusal of the order passed by the learned Single Judge, it is perceptible he has declined to interfere as there is an efficacious alternative statutory remedy. On a query being made, Mr. Brajesh Tiwary, learned counsel for - 2 - the appellant, fairly stated that there is statutory remedy available. In view of the aforesaid, we perceive no fallacy in the order passed by the learned Single Judge. Hence, there is no justification to issue notice in the application for condonation of delay and, accordingly, the application for delay stands rejected and as a fall out, the appeal also stands dismissed in limine.
