The Deputy Collector, Land Reforms, Baisee, District- Purnea. 6. The Circle Officer, Baisee, Purnea. 7. The S.D.O., Baisee, Purnea … Respondents… Respondents. For the appellant : Mr. S.C. Jha, III For the Respondent : Mrs. Kumari Amrita, SC (C) ----------- 3. 28.01.2010 The question that emanates for consideration in this Letters Patent Appeal is whether a writ of mandamus should be issued to a statutory authority to dispose of a representation solely because an ambitious endeavour has been made by the appellant to prefer an application despite the factum that the proceeding under the Bihar Land Rules (Fixation of Ceiling Area and Acquisition of Surplus Land ) (Amendment) Act, 2006 has been concluded giving finality. In our considered opinion, a land owner cannot harbour a notion that he has the right to get anything reopened, de hors the statutory provisions by 2 way of representation. The term representation cannot be treated as the panacea for all grievances that was never thought of in law and hence, the conception that has been conceived of by the appellant is absolutely misconceived and we perceive no error in the order of learned single Judge declining to issue a direction to the Collector to dispose of the representation. Thus, the appeal being sans merit, stands dismissed in limine. kanchan (Dipak Misra, CJ.) (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
