Kaushalya Devi wife of Butan Singh, resident of Village-Tazpur, Police Station-Itarhi, District-Buxar. 6. Kunti Devi wife of Jogha Singh, resident of Village- Baghawara, P.S. Itarhi, District- Buxar ---------------- Respondents. --------------- 6. 17.9.2009 Heard Mr. Satya Nand Shukla for the appellants, and Mr. Shashi Bhushan Kumar, learned Standing Counsel No.16. for the respondents. This appeal under Clause 10 of the Letters Patent of High Court of Judicature at Patna, has been preferred by the petitioners of C.W.J.C. No. 9565 of 1994 (Laxman Singh & Ors.V. The State of Bihar & Ors.), and are aggrieved by the order dated 14.11.1995, whereby the writ petition has been dismissed by a learned Single Judge of this Court. The issue before the learned writ court was whether or not the claim of pre-emption would lie with respect to a land the transfer of which was in violation of the provisions of 5 of the Bihar Land Reforms (Fixation of Ceiling Area of Acquisition of Surplus Land) Act. The learned Single Judge upheld the order of the Board of Revenue and dismissed the writ petition on the strength of judgment of a Division Bench of this Court in the case of Kamaldhari Rai v. State of Bihar, reported in 1979 B.B.C.J. 179. It appears to us that the 2 issue is squarely covered by a Division Bench of this Court, and there is nothing further to consider. There is no merit in this appeal. It is accordingly dismissed. Vinay/ ( S. K. Katriar ,J. ) (Shyam Kishore Sharma,J.)
