IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.14496 of 2008 Sudama Prasad @ Sudama Kumar, S/o-Mangal Chand Prasad, resident of Bodh Gaya Pachhatti, P.S.-Bodh Gaya, District-Gaya. -Petitioner. VERSUS 1. The State of Bihar. 2. District Magistrate, Gaya. 3. Circle Officer, Bodh Gaya, P.S.-Bodh Gaya, District-Gaya. 4. Officer-in-charge, Bodh Gaya P.S., District-Gaya. -Respondents. ----------- 02 20.11.2009 The petitioner claims to be settlee of certain lands in the vicinity of Bodh Gaya through Bhudan Yagya Committee. He alleges that the settlement was made in favour of his mother in the year 1955 and submits that he has been in continuous possession since then. Petitioner apprehends eviction at the hands of the State. State, on the other hand, points out that these lands were never settled by the Bhudan Yagya Committee to the petitioner. The facts are in great controversy, which this Court, in fact, is not to resolve in its summary jurisdiction. Petitioner may be well advised to establish his right, title and interest through the process of Civil Court where such disputes could be resolved. It is needless to say that State would not act arbitrarily to dispossess a person even if his possession is wrongful, subject to his possession having been established. State would take recourse to law before dispossessing even an illegal occupant. With the liberty aforesaid, the writ petition is disposed of. Trivedi/ (Navaniti Prasad Singh, J.)
