OPPOSITE PARTIES **** /2/ 01.04.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned counsel for the State and perused the earlier order, dated 24.06.2009 whereby L.P.A. No. 1020 of 2008 was allowed on a finding that the Additional Collector’s order, contained in Annexure 1 to the writ application, was without jurisdiction in view of provisions of Bihar Tenants Holding (Maintenance of Record) Act, 1973, under which power of original Court vests in the Anchal Adhikari and power of appeal in the Land Reforms, 2 Deputy Collector. Accordingly, the matter has been remitted back to the Anchal Adhikari, Sadar, Gaya, for a proper decision in dispute between the parties in accordance with law. It has been submitted that the disputes involve many aspects besides mutation and, therefore, matter may be remitted to the Collector, Gaya. We find no substance in this submission because under the statutory provisions of the Act of 1973, the prayer for mutation has to be decided by the authority competent under that Act. This application for modification of the earlier order is, therefore, dismissed. Cp:2/S.A. (Shiva Kirti Singh, J.) ( Gopal Prasad, J. )
