Kateya, Distt.- Gopalganj ………. ……… Respondents. ----------- 2. 18.05.2009 Heard the counsel for the petitioner and the counsel appearing for the state. Prayer of the petitioner in this application is for quashing the order dated 22.01.2008 passed by Joint Director, Consolidation , Muzaffarpur in Rev. Case No. 71/07 and also the order dated 30.8.2007 passed by Consolidation Officer, Kateya in Case No. 246/88-89. By the impugned order, Consolidation Officer as well as Joint Director, Consolidation has rejected prayer of the petitioner to enter his name with respect to the land of Khata Nos. 134, 135, 359, 369 & 388 of village Samogara. On perusal of the impugned orders, I find that the courts below have not recorded any finding either in favour of the petitioner or private respondents, for the reason that the question of title is involved and that can be decided only by a - 2 - civil court of competent jurisdiction. Counsel for the petitioner submits that the orders passed by the Consolidation Officer and the revisional authority may prejudice his claim in case he approaches civil court for declaration of his title with respect to these lands. I do not find that any such findings have been recorded in the impugned order which will prejudice the petitioner, in case he approaches the civil court for declaration of his title with respect to the lands which are the subject matter of dispute. This application is dismissed. akv (Mridula Mishra, J.)
