Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the State. 2. Petitioners are aggrieved by the order of the Lok Adalat dated 11.4.2008, Annexure-1, whereunder mutation has been made in regard to 471.9 sq. ft. of lands in Plot No. 597 Part appertaining to Khata No. 508 of Mohalla-Ishakchak in favour of Smt. Ranju Devi, Private Respondent No.5 on the basis of the sale-deed executed by Sanjeev Kumar Sahu. 3. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioners that Sanjeev Kumar Sahu, the vendor of Smt. Ranju Devi, is the brother of the petitioners and he has sold the lands in favour of Smt. Ranju Devi beyond his share. Such fact would be evident from perusal of Jamabandi No. 1692 in which the share of Sanjeev Kumar Sahu is only to the extent of 117.97 sq. ft. in Plot No. 597 and thus, he could not have executed the sale-deed in favour of Smt. Ranju Devi to the extent of 471.9 sq. ft. Aforesaid aspect of the matter could not be - 2 - clarified before the Circle Officer as he passed the order in the Lok Adalat without even notice to those in whose favour the other lands of Jamabandi No. 1692 including the petitioners is recorded. 4. Petitioners are at liberty to highlight the aforesaid aspect of the matter before the Circle Officer or the appellate court, as according to them order dated 11.4.2008 (Annexure-1) mutating 471.9 sq. ft. of land in favour of Smt. Ranju Devi could not have been passed without notice to the petitioners. 5. With the liberty, aforesaid, this writ application is disposed of. P.K.P. (V.N.Sinha,J.)
