IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.7050 of 2006 RAM DULAR PATHAK & ANR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 7. 19.8.2008. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners, State and the counsel for the pre-emptor, private Respondent No. 4. Pre-emption application under the Bihar Land Reforms (Fixation of Ceiling Area and Acquisition of Surplus Land) Act, 1961(hereinafter referred to as “the Act”) was dismissed by the Deputy Collector, Land Reforms, Saran under order dated 13.3.2001, Annexure-4 which order was also affirmed in appeal under order dated 4.7.2002 passed by the Collector, Saran, Annexure-5. The two orders were assailed by filing Case No.216 of 2002 before the Board of Revenue, Bihar, which considered and allowed the revision under order dated 28.2.2006, Annexure-6. Perusal whereof, however, indicates that thereunder two orders dated 13.3.2001 and 4.7.2002 have been set aside without any direction to the purchaser or the Collector under the Act to transfer the lands in question in favour of the pre-emptor as is required in terms of Sub-rule (v) and (vi) of Rule 19 of the Bihar Land Ceiling Rules, 1963 and in that view of the matter this writ application is dismissed.
