IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.6960 of 2009 SURESH RAI, SON OF LATE RAM LAKHAN RAI, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE SIKANDARPUR, P.S. BIHTA, DISTRICT PATNA. ----- PETITIONER Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR. 2. THE PRINCIPAL SECRETARY, LAND REFORMS, GOVERNMENT OF BIHAR, PATNA. 3. THE DIRECTOR, LAND ACQUISITION DEPARTMENT, GOVERNMENT OF BIHAR, PATNA. 4. THE DISTRICT MAGISTRATE, PATNA 5. THE DISTRICT LAND ACQUISITION OFFICER, PATNA 6. THE CIRCLE OFFICER, BIHTA (PATNA) ----- RESPONDENTS ----------- 2 24.9.2010 Petitioner’s case is that he along with his brother Giriza Rai had executed a sale deed in favour of Yamuna Rai and Jai Narain Rai on 28.12.1990 and 9.1.1991. The petitioner claims that the original sale deed and the Chirkut is with the petitioner as the vendee did not pay the consideration amount to the petitioner. The grievance of the petitioner is that the Land Acquisition Officer, Patna on the basis of the aforesaid sale deed has paid the compensation amount in a Land Acquisition Proceeding to Yamuna Rai and Jai Narain Rai. I, therefore, direct the Land Acquisition Officer, Patna to issue notice to the parties, examine the original sale deed and pass appropriate orders in this matter on an application being filed by the petitioner within a period of eight weeks on receipt/production of a copy of this order. This writ application is disposed of with the aforesaid observations and direction. Sanjay ( Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
