IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA LPA No.474 of 2009 1. Ganesh Jha 2. Mahendra Jha, both sons of late Bisheshwar Jha, resident of village Nanaur, P.s.Andhratharhi, District Madhubani. Petitioners-Appellants Versus 1. The State of Bihar 2. The Collector, Madhubani, District Madhubani 3. The S.D.O., Jhanjharpur, District Madhubani. 4. Most. Gita Ojhain wife of late Kapileshwar Jha, resident of village Manaur, P.S.Andhratharhi, District Madhubani. Respondents. ---------- 08 18.10.2011 Heard learned counsel for the appellants and for the State. The case of the appellants seems to be with regard to non-issuance of notice by Collector, Madhubani with regard to declaration of these lands by virtue of family partition in pursuance of Civil Court decree dated 18.2.1980 i.e. Annexure-5. The learned Single Judge has not agreed to the contention raised by the appellants herein and remanded the matter to approach the appropriate authority in terms of Section 45B of the Bihar Land Ceiling Area and Acquisition of Surplus Land Act as the appellants herein have aggrieved by the action of the Collector, Madhubani, (Respondent no.2) that he did not issue notice to them. We are of the opinion that it would suffice if a direction is issued to Respondent no.2 to issue notice to the appellants herein in Land Ceiling Case No.8/82-83 and pass appropriate orders after issuance of notice. The entire exercise 2 must be completed within a period of six months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. With the above observation, the L.P.A. stands disposed of.
