IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.13655 of 2007 Savitri Devi, wife of late Dilip Kumar, resident of Sidharth Colony, Manpur, Police Station- Moffasil, District- Gaya. ..... Petitioner. Versus 1. The State of Bihar. 2. Joint Director of Consolidation, Magadh Division, Gaya. 3. Deputy Director of Consolidation, Gaya. 4. Consolidation Officer, Gaya. 5. District Magistrate, Gaya. 6. Registrar, Registration Office, Gaya. ..... Respondents. ----------- 04- 27.2.2009 Heard Mr. Sujeet Kumar Gupta for the petitioner, and Mr. Prashant Kumar Choudhary, learned assistant counsel to Government Pleader No.7. This writ petition is directed against the order dated 21.6.2007 (Annexure-2), passed by the learned Deputy Director of Consolidation, Gaya, in Case No.97 of 2006/8 of 2005 (Md.Imran Rizvi Vs. Rajeshwar Kumar and others), whereby the learned appellate authority has rejected the application filed by the present petitioner to implead him as party in the proceedings. 2. It appears that the petitioner purchased the land in question during the pendency of the consolidation proceedings. He, therefore, filed an application before the Consolidation authorities to be impleaded as party respondent which has been rejected by the 2 impugned order on the ground that the petitioner is not a necessary party. The petitioner has also not made any attempt in this Court to make out a prima-facie case in terms of Section 31 of the Bihar Consolidation of Holdings and Prevention of Fragmentation Act (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Act’). It, therefore, seems to be hit by the bar engrafted in Section-32 of the Act. Furthermore, the petitioner has not impleaded the persons contemplated by Section 31 of the Act. 3. The writ petition is dismissed. (S K Katriar, J.) S.K.Pathak/
