THE CIRCLE OFFICER, BENJARIYA BLOCK OFFICER, BANJARIYA, DIST. EAST CHAMPARAN 5. THE MANAGER OF BETTIAH ESTATE BETTIAH, WEST CHAMPARAN 6. SUBHASH CHANDRA, ADVOCATE, SON OF LATE SHYAM CHANDRA PRASAD, RESIDENT OF HOSPITAL CHOWK, MOTIHARI, EAST CHAMPARAN …RESPONDENTS, ----------- 02. 03.01.2011 Heard both sides. The father of the writ petitioner along with father of respondent no.6 claim to have purchased certain pieces of land by unregistered Hukumnama (Annexure-1) way back in the year 1933 from one Ali Jan Mian. It is the case of the petitioner that recently in the year 2008, he approached respondent Anchal Adhikari for correction in the Jamabandi enabling him to pay the land revenue but no action has been taken.. This Court finds the pleadings to be wholly deficient inasmuch as no cause has been shown for a delay of several decades in approaching the authority for correction in the revenue records. I am thus not persuaded to invoke discretionary writ jurisdiction in the matter. Petitioner shall be at liberty to take any other 2 legal recourse available to him in law. The application is dismissed. hr ( Kishore K. Mandal )
