Petitioners are aggrieved by the order dated 14.09.2009 passed by the Deputy Collector Land Reforms, Buxar in Bataidari Case No. 5/1977-78, Annexure-1, whereunder the claim of the petitioners to declare them as the share cropper of the lands-in-question has been rejected by the Collector under the Act. Against the order of the Collector under the Act there lies an appeal before the Collector of the District. 3. In the circumstances, I deem it appropriate that petitioners should assail the order dated 14.09.2009 passed in Bataidari Case No. 5/1977-78, Annexure-1 before the Collector of the District by filing an appeal in terms of Section 48 F of the B.T. Act. Along with the memo of appeal petitioners are at liberty to file a petition under Sections 5 and 14 of the Limitation Act for condoning the delay, if any, in filing the appeal. It goes without saying that the court below while considering the memo of appeal shall look into the grounds taken by the petitioners for condoning the delay in filing the appeal and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. 4. This writ application is, accordingly, disposed of. P.K.P. (V.N.Sinha, J.)
