IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.1421 of 2011 MADHU MALTI RAI W/O BHIM SHANKAR RAI, R/O MOHALLA- ANANDPURI, BORING ROAD, P.S. SRIKRI SHNAPURI, DISTRICT-PATNA. ………..Petitioner. Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR. 2. THE L.R.D.C. DANAPUR, PATNA. 3. ANCHAL ADHIKARI, DANAPUR, DISTRICT-PATNA. ……….Respondents. ----------- 02 24.01.2011 Both sides heard. Petitioner has filed the present writ application seeking inter alia the following relief:- “For issuance of writ of mandamus commanding the respondent authority to restore the Jamabandi No. 3983 which was created in name of petitioner vide mutation case no. 2852/92-93 with respect to the land of khata no. 470, plot no. 1551 situated in mauza Danapur Shahjadpur, Thanna no. 21, P.S. Danapur, District Patna which has been cancelled without notice to the petitioner.” It is the stand of the petitioner that he purchased 2 Katha 10 Dhurs of lands from one Chanarik Rai by a sale deed dated 07.01.1992. It is further the submission that on making application before the concerned Circle Officer, her name was mutated in respect of the land by order dated 30.03.1993, passed in a mutation camp vide Mutation Case No. 2852/92-93 (Annexure-2). She thereafter, paid rent in respect of the said land for few years. Petitioner has stated as under in paras 21 and 22: “21. That in the year 1993 when agent of petitioner went to Anchal office for making the payment of rent then revenue karamchari refused to accept the rent and informed that L.R.D.C. Danapur in Miscellaneous case No. 03-1995 has stayed the Jamabandi created in the name of petitioner. 22. That thereafter the petitioner obtained the certified copy of order dated 30.6.1995 and came to learn that L.R.D.C. has stayed the Jamabandi of the petitioner on the grounds that the then L.R.D.C. has already set aside the Jamabandi No. 3148 vide order passed in miscellaneous case no. 11/1991-92. Then L.R.D.C. has passed the order by which he has set aside the order of creation of jamabandi no. 3148 in the name of Chanarik Rai, others in Mutation Case No. 2044/91.” Safik (Kishore K. Mandal, J.) It, thus, appears that in the year 1995, it became evident to her that Jamabandi No. 3148 created in the name of her vendor, namely, Chanarik Rai, stood cancelled by an order of the respondent-Deputy Collector Land Reforms. Present application has now been filed in the year 2011 seeking the aforesaid relief. A bare perusal of the case would show that the present application suffers from gross delay and latches. There is no explanation of such delay. This Court in that view of the matter, shall not invoke its extra ordinary and discretionary writ jurisdiction in favour of the petitioner. Petitioner, if so advised, may take recourse to other remedy as are available to her in law. This application stands disposed of.
