For the State :- Mr. Gyan Prakash Ojha, A.C. to G.A.-5. ====== 4. 19.09.2011. In compliance of the orders of this Court dated 05.09.2011, Collector, Katihar is present and has filed show-cause annexing the order dated 16th September, 2011 (Annexure-A) passed in compliance of the order of the High Court dated 16.2.2010, Annexure-6, taking into account the report of the Halka Karmchari dated 24.6.2009 and with reference to the revisional survey entries it has been held that the lands-in- question are recorded in the name of the State of Bihar. It is also held in the order that from the report of the Halka Karmchari it does not appear that after the lands became diluvial it is in the possession of the petitioner. In view of the aforesaid finding recorded by the Collector, I am not inclined 2 to proceed any further with the matter. The contempt petition is disposed of granting liberty to the petitioner to request the Collector, Katihar for seeking a report about the actual possession over the lands-in- question. So far the revisional survey entries are concerned, petitioner is at liberty to challenge the same by filing suit in the Civil Court of competent jurisdiction. P.K.P. (V.N.Sinha,J.)
