Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State; also perused the show-cause filed by the then Circle Officer, Morba. 2. Petitioner was settled with the lands in-question and in the light of his settlement Jamabandi was created with approval of the D.C.L.R., Samastipur. The Circle Officer cancelled the Jamabandi against which petitioner came to this Court in C.W.J.C.No. 1459 of 2000 which was disposed of under orders dated 14.5.2002, Annexure- 2 and the matter was remitted back to the Collector of the district. 3. In compliance of the orders of this Court dated 14.5.2002, Annexure-2 matter is still pending before the Collector as from paragraph 16 of the petition it appears that the Collector on account of his other engagement is unable to hold court. While the matter is kept pending before the Collector, the Circle Officer, Morba has settled the lands in-question in favour of private respondent nos. 4 to 17 by passing antedated order dated 5.11.2001 in Record Case No. 4/1999-2000/ 4/2000-2001 and Land Settlement Case No. 1 of 2001, certified copy whereof was allowed to the petitioner after much effort. 4.
