THE DEPUTY COLLECTOR LAND REFORMS, PALIGANJ, PATNA 5. RANJAN YADAV, SON OF KARAMASAY YADAV 6. RAMDEV YADAV, SON OF KARAMASAY YADAV (RESPONDENT NOS. 5 AND 6 ARE RESIDENT OF VILLAGE JITAN CHHAPARA, P.S. RANITALAB, SUB-DIVISION PALIGANJ, DISTRICT PATNA) ----- RESPONDENTS ----------- 2 30.8.2010 Petitioner is the pre-emptor who is seeking a direction of this court to order the private respondents to execute a sale deed in pursuance of an order passed by the Member, Board of Revenue dated 17.12.1990. The petitioner made an application before the D.C.L.R. with respect to the Land Ceiling Case No. 17 of 1976-77. The application was rejected on the ground that it is grossly time barred and the petitioner has come for getting the decree of the Member, Board of Revenue executed after 12 years whereas the limitation is 3 years. Considering this aspect, I find no merit in this writ application. This writ application is dismissed. Sanjay ( Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
