THE STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH HOME SECRETARY DEPARTMENT OF HOME, GOVERNMENT OF BIHAR, OLD SECRETARIAT, PATNA 2.THE COLLECTOR, KHAGARIA 3.THE SUB-DIVISIONAL OFFICER, KHAGARIA 4.THE BLOCK DEVELOPMENT OFFICER, KHAGARIA 5.THE CIRCLE OFFICER, KHAGARIA 6.THE SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE, KHAGARIA 7.THE OFFICER-IN-CHARGE,POLICE STATION - GANGOUR, DISTT.- KHAGARIA …RESPONDENTS ----------- 07. 11.01.2011 Nobody appears on behalf of the petitioners. Learned counsel for the State is present. Petitioners have preferred the present application seeking following reliefs: (i) An appropriate writ/direction/ order commanding the respondents not to demolish the houses of the petitioners and others constructed in the land described at the bottom of this writ application, about 22 years ago in which they are residing with their family members and carrying on the agricultural works. (ii) An appropriate writ commanding the respondents authorities to take steps for the acquisition of the lands in question for the purposes of granting homestead parcha under the provisions of the Bihar Privileged Persons Homestead Tenancy Act in favour of the petitioners and other similarly situated privileged persons residing in the said land. From the entire pleadings it is not apparent as to how the writ petitioners claim the land. It is admitted position that in a proceeding under section 145 Cr. P.C., possession of the land owners has been declared against which some of the similarly placed persons filed revision application which stood rejected. The 3 land owners ultimately had to move this Court in CWJC No. 3346 of 2001 (Annexure-3). A Bench of this Court after hearing the parties, disposed of the said application by the following orders: “ That being so, this Court would dispose of this writ application with a direction to the respondents, 1st set especially the Collector of Khagaria district to take immediate steps for either restoration of the land of the petitioners and respondent nos.17 and 18 to them by removing any and every person including Respondent 2nd set within a period of six months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order or by completing the land acquisition proceeding as sought to be initiated by the Collector of Khagaria in the year 2002 itself in the same period. Such exercise in any event must be completed and a final decision must be taken within the aforesaid period of six months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order.” In that view of the matter, this Court does not find any merit in this application justifying invocation of extra-ordinary writ jurisdiction. The application is dismissed. hr ( Kishore K. Mandal )
