BARDAHA(SIKTY), DISTRICT ARARIA. ----------- 02. 08.01.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the State. 2. Petitioners are aggrieved by the order dated 31.7.2009, Annexure-5 passed by the Sub-Divisional Officer, Araria in Case No.11 of 2006, whereunder the order passed in their favour under Section 48D of the Bihar Tenancy Act has been set aside on the ground that the raiyat/landlord of the lands in question was not given opportunity of being heard. 3. In the circumstance, I am not inclined to interfere with the impugned order dated 31.7.2009, Annexure-5 as the matter has only been remanded back for fresh consideration after giving opportunity to private respondent nos.5 and 6 of being heard in the matter. Whatever petitioners have to contend before this Court, they are at liberty to contend before the Circle Officer, Sikty, Araria to whom the matter has been remanded. The Circle Officer is directed to expedite the hearing of the proceeding and to conclude the same within a time frame. 4. This writ application is, accordingly, disposed of. Rajesh/ (V.N.Sinha, J.)
