IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.9513 of 2011 KANTI DEVI Versus SHANTI DEVI & ORS ----------- 2. 21.06.2011 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. This writ application has been filed against the order dated 16.4.2010 passed by the Permanent Lok Adalat in Misc. Case No. 7 (M) of 2008 whereby the petition filed by the petitioner for recall of the order and award dated 14.8.2007 passed in Case No. 849 (D) of 2006 has been rejected. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner has also got share in the property, which have been divided between the parties before the Lok Adalat and an award has been passed. The petitioner was not made party in the said proceeding before the Lok Adalat. In such view of the matter, the petitioner filed an application before the Lok Adalat to recall the said order and award passed by the permanent Lok Adalat which has been rejected by the impugned order. The learned counsel further submitted that if the impugned order and award of the permanent Lok Adalat is not set aside grave injustice would occasion and the petitioner shall suffer serious loss and irreparable injury. From perusal of the impugned order it appears 2 that permanent Lok Adalat has observed that the permanent Lok Adalat has got no jurisdiction either to review or recall the order and award passed by the said Court. The learned counsel for the petitioner is unable to show any provision in the Legal Service Authority Act which empowers the Lok Adalat to exercise either review power or inherent power. In such view of the matter, in exercise of power under Article 227 of the Constitution of India no direction can be given to the permanent Lok Adalat for an inquiry in the matter. However since the petitioner herself has stated that she is not a party to the award passed by the Lok Adalat, she may if so advised approach before appropriate forum by filing appropriate proceedings and get her title declared as the award will not be binding on her. With the above observations, this writ application is dismissed. S.S. (Mungeshwar Sahoo,J.)
