DARBHANGA. ---- RESPONDENTS. For the petitioner : Mr. Shailendra Kumar Tiwary, Advocate. For the State : Mr. Ajay Kumar Sharma, A.C.to A.A.G.1. ----------- 02 25.03.2011 Heard the parties. Petitioner has approached this Court seeking issuance of appropriate writ(s)/direction(s) commanding the respondents particularly respondent no.2 (Collector, Katihar) to settle the land in question. According to the writ petitioner, the land detailed in para 3 of the petition were settled in the name of grand father of the petitioner in the year 1903. It is the case of the petitioner that on or around 1950, the land submerged in river Ganga. It is further the case of the petitioner that recently those lands have been retrieved and as such authority should once again settle the said land with the petitioner. Based on pleadings of the writ petition, in my view, no positive direction can be issued in favour of the petitioner. However, it will be open to the petitioner to file representation before the appropriate authority ventilating his grievance which shall be considered and disposed of in accordance with law. Application stands disposed of. Sym/ ( Kishore K. Mandal, J.)
