IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.12309 of 2007 Jyotindra Prasad Singh S/o Late Karam Chand Prasad Singh resident of village Tetri P.S. Naucgachhia Dist. Bhagalpur Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. The Collector, Bhagalpur 3. The Anchala Dhikari, Naugachhia District Bhagalpur 4. Shiv Pujan Sah 5. Sri Jagarnath Sah 6. Suresh Sah 7. Kamleshwari Sah @ Khokha All sons of Turanti Sah resident of village Tetri P.S. Naucgachhia Dist. Bhagalpur ----------- 2 24.2.2009 Heard Mr Mahendra Pathak learned counsel for the petitioner, and Mr Sanjiv Kumar Mishra learned Assistant Counsel to learned Government Pleader no.7 for respondents no. 1 to 3. The writ petition arises out of a mutation proceedings and is directed against the order dated 24.8.2004, passed by the learned Collector of the District of Bhagalpur, whereby he has ordered that the petitioner herein may move the civil court for adjudication of his right, title and interest. We have perused the materials and considered the submissions of the learned counsel for the parties. The petitioner seeks mutation of his name with respect to 14 decimals of land appertaining to new Khersara no. 3890/3927, under Mauza Tetri, Police station Naugachhia, District Bhagalpur. Neither the orders of the learned first authority nor the learned appellate authority are on record. It further appears that the petitioner has moved the learned Collector of the district who rejected the same by the impugned order. It appears to me that it raises issues of right, title and interest which can not be - 2 - affectively adjudicated in writ jurisdiction. There is yet another aspect of the matter. The writ petition suffers from unexplained delay, laches, and negligence The impugned order was passed on 24.8.2004, and the present writ petition was lodged in this court on 19.9.2007. The writ petition is dismissed. shahid (S.K.Katriar, J)
