Bhagalpur. ---Respondents. ---------------------------------- 02 16.12.2011 On call nobody appears on behalf of the petitioner to press the application. Mr. Rakesh Kumar Shrivastava, learned Assistant Counsel to Government Pleader no. 4 is present. Heard. Petitioner raises a grievance with respect to an action taken by the respondent in the year 1964 whereby the land claimed by the petitioner appertaining to Thana no. 42, Tauzi nos. 226,1104, 840 measuring a total area of 25 acres 61 decimals were settled with the private respondents. 45 years latter an application seems to have been filed before the District Magistrate (Annexures- 1 and 2) that said settlement was wrongly made. It appears the averments made in these applications are cryptic inasmuch as relevant details of the land the manner they are held by the petitioner and the names of the settlee(s) have also not been disclosed. On perusal of the writ petition, it appears that the petitioner has accepted that the respondents are own agnates. In my view, based on pleadings on record no relief can be granted to the petitioner by invocation of discretionary and extraordinary writ jurisdiction of this Court. I, thus, find no merit in the application. It is accordingly, dismissed. However, dismissal of the application shall not preclude the petitioner from ventilating his grievance before the appropriate forum/authority in accordance with law and the authority from granting him relief in accordance with law.
