THE STATE OF BIHAR. 2. DISTRICT MAGISTRATE, BHOJPUR AT ARA. 3. CIRCLE OFFICER, BIHIYA ANCHAL, BHOJPUR AT ARA. ……………Respondents. ----------- 02 20.01.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The present application has been filed seeking issuance of appropriate writ/order/direction commanding respondents to settle a piece of land located in village Bihiya in favour of the petitioner. Such claim is raised on the basis of circular/resolution of the Government, whereby ex-military persons were supposed to settle certain pieces of land for cultivation purpose. The relevant circular/resolution of the Government is, however, not on record. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that earlier the petitioner approached this Court in C.W.J.C. No. 3883/1997 for identical relief. This Court by order dated 4.5.98 (Annexure-1) disposed of the matter permitting the petitioner to file copy of the said petition afresh within a period of one month and directing concerned respondents to dispose of the same by a reasoned order. It is the stand of the petitioner that the aforesaid case stood dismissed for non-prosecution as a result whereof, the petitioner had to file another case bearing Settlement Case No. 46/2003-04 which has remained pending till date. It is thus contended that the petitioner would be satisfied if the concerned authority is directed to dispose of the same in accordance with law. Learned counsel for the State, does not object to the aforesaid submission of the petitioner. Having considered the submission, this Court without going into the merits of the claim, disposes of this application by the following order:- Let the petitioner pursue the aforesaid case bearing Settlement Case No. 46/2003-04 before the respondent no. 2. Petitioner shall produce a copy of the present order before the said authority within four weeks. In case, the matter is pursued and the copy of the order is produced before the said respondent within the aforesaid time, this Court expects that pending case bearing Settlement Case No. 46/2003-04 shall be disposed of in accordance with law expeditiously.
