Gopal Narayan Singh son of District Education Officer Narayan Singh resident of village Jamuhar, P.S.Dehri Dist. Rohtas at Sasaram Respondents ------------ 6 06.03.2009 Heard Mr Ambuj Nayan Chaube, learned counsel for the petitioner, and learned Assistant counsel to learned Government Pleader no.2, for the respondents. This writ petition is directed against the order dated 7.3.2007 (Annexure 3), passed by respondent no.2, in purported exercise of power under section 16 of the Bihar Tenants’ Holdings (Maintenance of Records) Act, 1973, in Mutation Revision case no.68/2003 (Smt. Lakhrani Devi vs Gopal Narain Singh), whereby the petitioner’s revision application has been rejected and the orders of the two authorities below him have been upheld. It appears that the parties are already locked in a civil suit bearing Title suit no. 128/2000, in the civil court at Sasaram. It goes without saying that the orders of mutation authorities are subject to the result of the civil suit. The writ petition is dismissed. shahid (S.K.Katriar, J)
