Petitioniers are aggrieved by the order dated 15.6.2009 passed by the Director, Consolidation, Bihar, Patna in Consolidation Revision Case No.134 of 2008, Annexure-1, whereunder he has rejected the request of the petitioners to exchange the Chak plots allotted to them with private respondent nos.4 to 8 on the ground that such exchange may involve dispossession of many other raiyats. 3. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioners that the proposed exchange of the Chak plots is confined to them and private respondent nos.4 to 8 on the basis of the possession found by the Consolidation Officer under Sub- 2 Section-(7) of Section10 of the Consolidation Act in compliance of the order of the Director, Consolidation dated 25.11.1997 passed in Revision Case No.220 of 1994 and shall not affect the interest of any other raiyat. 4. Having heard counsel for the parties as also having appreciated the extent of jurisdiction of the Director, Consolidation contained in Section-35 of the Consolidation Act, I am of the view that the exchange of Chak plots between the petitioners and private respondent nos.4 to 8 be considered by the Director, Consolidation on the basis of the possession found by the Consolidation Officer in compliance of the order of the Director, Consolidation dated 25.11.1997, provided the exchange is confined to the petitioners and private respondents and does not affect the other villager/raiyat. 5. With the observations aforesaid this writ application is disposed of. Rajesh/ ( V. N. Sinha, J.)
