Counter affidavit in this case was filed by respondent no. 6 in the year 2008 and thereafter, on three occasions, the case was got adjourned, as per instance of the petitioner. In any event, since for adjudicating such dispute, an appropriate forum has already been constituted, as Land Tribunal under Bihar Land Tribunal Act, 2009 (in short ‘Act’), in all fairness, it would be appropriate for directing to transfer the record to the Tribunal, as per provisions contained in Section 15 of the Act. Accordingly, the Registry is directed to transmit the record of the case to the Tribunal forthwith. Anay (Rakesh Kumar, J.)
