IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.14821 of 2010 MAKESHWAR RAVIDAS, son of Laxman Ravidas, village Morsanda, PS Falka, Dist. Katihar – Petitioner. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS . 2 7.9.2010 The petitioner is relying on the order by which it was observed that the petitioner who is the Parcha holder of land which was distributed as surplus in a ceiling proceeding should be granted alternative lands before he is dispossessed. In the ceiling proceeding apparently it was found that the original land holder did not possess excess land and, therefore, it was directed that the lands which have been declared to be surplus should be returned back to them. Undoubtedly this court has sympathy towards the petitioner who would suffer, as he would have to vacate the premises. On the other hand, this court cannot pass any positive order in favour of the petitioner out of compassion or sympathy as it would amount to causing injustice to the person who is the land holder in the Ceiling Proceeding. It is accordingly directed that the respondent District Magistrate should try and provide alternative land to the petitioner as soon as he gets an opportunity, on preferential basis, since the petitioner has suffered due to cancellation of the Parcha. This writ petition stands disposed of with the aforesaid observations. haque ( Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
