THE STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH THE CHIEF SECRETARY,GOVERNMENT OF BIHAR, PATNA 2. THE CHIEF SECRETARY, GOVERNMENT OF BIHAR, PATNA 3. THE PRINCIPAL SECRETARY, REVENUE DEPARTMENT, GOVERNMENT OF BIHAR, PATNA 4. THE COLLECTOR, PATNA 5. THE SUB DIVISIONAL MAGISTRATE, BARH, PATNA 6. THE BLOCK DEVELOPMENT OFFICER –CUM- CIRCLE OFFICER, MOKAMA, DISTRICT PATNA 7. THE CIRCLE INSPECTOR, ANCHAL OFFICE, MOKAMA, DISTRICT PATNA ******** 2 27/10/2010 The petitioner claims that he was settled some lands in Maranchi Diara in Anchal Mokama, District Patna in the year 1956-58. It is submitted on his behalf that he has never been handed over the possession of the lands in question by the Circle Officer, although he had approached the Circle Officer on several occasions. The petitioner claims that he has been paying rent to the State of Bihar since 1956-58. The rent receipt is annexed as Annexure-2 is of the year 2009 and, therefore, this Court has no way to determine whether the petitioner was paying rent after the said settlement from the year 1956-58 till for the present. In any event, this writ application making a prayer that the Circle Officer should demarcate the land and hand over possession for the lands settled in favour 2 of the petitioner after 45 years of the settlement is belated and as such, this Court is not inclined to pass any directions in this case. This writ application is accordingly dismissed. Anand ( Sheema Ali Khan, J. )
