IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.11399 of 2010 1. Sheomuni Pandey, 2. Sheo Shankar Pandey, 3. Ram Kailash Pandey, all sons of Late Raj Dayal Pandey, village Khirodharpur, PS Bikramganj, District Rohtas – Petitioners. Vs. 1. The State of Bihar, 2. The Principal Secretary, Revenue & Land Reforms Department, Bihar, Patna. 3. The Collector, Rohtas. 4. The Subdivisional Officer, Bikramganj, Dist. Rohtas. 5. The Land Reforms Deputy Collector, Bikramganj, Rohtas. 6. The Circle Officer, Bikramganj, Rohtas – Respondents. 2 26.7.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the counsel appearing on behalf of the State. The petitioners are the purchaser from the original settlee Ram Prasad. The said Ram Prasad was settled the lands by granting rent receipts. In 1958 the petitioners purchased the land in question through a sale deed. In the year 1972 the land was recorded as Anabad Sarva Sadharan. The petitioners filed T.S. No. 65/1974 impleading the Gram Panchayat as defendant, which was decreed in favour of the petitioner on 21.9.1976. In the mean time the consolidation proceeding was initiated and chak was created and the petitioners’ names were entered on 8.4.1980. The grievance of the petitioners is that the Circle Officer, Bikramganj, Rohtas has stopped issuing rent receipt in favour of the petitioners. I, therefore, direct that the petitioners should file a representation before the Circle Officer who will consider the documents and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law within a period of six months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. 2 This writ petition is disposed of with the aforesaid observation. haque (Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
