IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.17224 of 2007 1. Ram Ekbal Singh, 2. Ram Raj Singh, 3. Lallan Singh, All are son of Late Basdeo Singh, resident of Village- Diyan, Police Station- Mohaniya, Distt.- Kaimoor. ..... Petitioners. Versus 1. The State of Bihar. 2. The Director of Consolidation, Bihar, Patna. 3. The Consolidation Officer, Mohaniya, District- Kaimoor. 4. Raj Bans Singh, son of Late Ram Prasad Singh, resident of village- Diyan, P.S. Mohaniya, District- Kaimoor. ..... Respondents. ----------- 02- 17.3.2009 None appears on behalf of the petitioners. Heard learned assistant counsel to Mr. Nirmal Kumar, Government Pleader No.4. This writ petition is directed against the order dated 8.6.2007 (Annexure-1), passed in Consolidation Revision Case No.386 of 1995 (Raj Bansh Singh Vs. Basdeo Singh), by respondent no.2, in purported exercise of powers under Section-35 of the Bihar Consolidation of Holdings and Prevention of Fragmentation Act, 1956, whereby he has allowed the revision application preferred by respondent no.4 herein, and has set aside the appellate order (Annexure-3 herein). 2 2. It appears to me on a perusal of the impugned order that the revision application has been allowed, inter alia, on the ground that he has found that the petitioner (respondent no.4 herein) has title and possession with respect to the land in question. The learned revisional authority has assigned valid reason(s) while allowing the revision application. I, therefore, do not propose to interfere with the same. 3. Law is well settled that the authorities under the Act cannot decide the question relating to title. It goes without saying that it will be open to the petitioners to institute a civil suit in a court of competent jurisdiction for adjudication of right, title and interest. This order should not be taken to be an expression of the views of this Court as to the maintainability of the civil suit which may filed by the petitioners. 4. The writ petition is dismissed with the aforesaid observations. (S K Katriar, J.) S.K.Pathak/ 3
