Gupta, SC V and Binod Kumar, AC to SC V. ---------- 4. 11.5.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. No one appears for respondent nos. 9 to 11 although notices were duly served upon them. The petitioner prays for a direction to the respondents to hand over possession of the land allotted 2 to the father of the petitioner by Purcha and documents maintained in Abhilekh No. 1/92-93 issued by the Sub- Divisional Officer, Danapur, Patna. The case of the petitioner is that a plot of land was allotted to the father of the petitioner upon the rehabilitation of the residents of the village which had been washed away in 1977 by floods. Purcha was issued in favour of the father of the petitioner in the year 1991 with respect to Khata No.3, Survey Khesra No. 6 and new plot no. 554, area 04 decimals situated at Bajitpur by the Sub-Divisional Officer, Danapur on 21.9.1994. The father of the petitioner along with his family including this petitioner came in possession over the said plot and they are living on the same even after the death of his father on 10.3.2002 but subsequently he has been evicted by respondent nos. 9 to 11. The petitioner represented the matter before the authorities but to no avail and in the said circumstances, he has approached this Court. In the counter affidavit filed on behalf of respondent no.7, Circle Officer, Maner, Patna, it is stated that he has issued a notice contained in memo no. 4 dated 3 6.5.2010 to the petitioner to take possession of the land in question, if not taken earlier, and further stating that if there is any difficulty in taking possession of the land in question he may inform and contact the deponent for the needful. Learned counsel for the petitioner prays that the writ application may be disposed of in the light of the aforesaid letter of assurance given by the Circle Officer, Maner. The writ application is accordingly disposed of. S. Pandey ( Ramesh Kumar Datta, J.)
