Mrs. Subhadra Devi, wife of Sri Bidyanand Prasad, resident of village Jandaha, PS Jandaha, District Vaishali ……. Respondents ----------- 02- 6.2.2009 Heard Mr. Satish Kumar for the petitioner, and learned AC to Standing Counsel no.VI. This writ petition is directed against the order dated 15.5.95 (Annexure 3), passed by the learned Joint Director of Consolidation, Muzaffarpur, in Revision Case No.486/93 (Jagdish Prasad v. Yogendra Prasad), in purported exercise of powers under Section 35 of the Bihar Consolidation of Holdings (Prevention of Fragmentation) Act. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the Director is the revisional authority in terms of Section 35 of the Act and, therefore, the impugned order having been passed by the learned Joint Director is without jurisdiction. I regret my inability to accede to the submission for the reason that the law settled by decisions of this Court that, in the scheme of the Act, the Director of Consolidation is the revisional authority in terms of Section 35 of the Act which can also be delegated to the learned Joint Director. Exercise - 2 - of revisional powers in terms of Section 35 of the Act in the present case by the learned Joint Director of Consolidation, Muzaffarpur, can not be assailed on the ground of jurisdiction. The remaining submissions advanced by learned counsel for the petitioner are in the realm of facts which can not be entertained in writ jurisdiction. 2. This writ petition is accordingly dismissed.
