THAKUR, KAMAL KISHORE SINGH AND ASHOK KUMAR, ADVOCATES --------- 4 19.12.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned counsel for the private respondents as also learned counsel for the State. There is concurrent finding of facts against the petitioner both by learned DCLR as well as the Collector in appeal. The order passed by the Circle Officer was rightly interfered with because when the proceeding was initiated against this petitioner the land in question had already been sold and the purchasers had not been made party to the proceeding before a kind of order come to be passed. In these circumstances the private respondents approached learned DCLR who examined the rival claim of the parties and has rendered his opinion. This Court does not find any illegality in either of the two orders under challenge. This writ application is dismissed. RPS (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
