AGIAON, DISTT.- BHOJPUR – Respondents. ----------- 2 9.7.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the counsel appearing on behalf of the State. The petitioner was settled 1.3 decimals of land in village Khopira appertaining to Khata no. 281, khesra no. 96 and 842 measuring 18 and 16 decimals respectively. Thereafter consolidation proceedings were initiated in the village and a Chak was prepared in favour of the petitioner. In 1992 the State Government cancelled the settlement of the petitioner. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that although the settlement was cancelled in 1992, the petitioner continued to be in possession of the land and now he has perfected his right by way of adverse possession. This court cannot adjudicate on this aspect of the matter. The proper course for the petitioner would be to file a suit, if so advised. This writ petition is dismissed. haque (Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
