IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA LPA No.227 of 2008 KRISHNA PRASAD MALAKAR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- For the Appellant : Mr. Satish Kumar Sinha, Advocate ---------------- P R E S E N T Hon'ble the Chief Justice & Hon'ble Mr. Justice Kishore K. Mandal --------- Dated, the 18th September, 2008. We heard the counsel for the appellant. 2. The Single Judge was justified in dismissing the writ petition filed by the present appellant. As a matter of fact, there could not have been a more frivolous petition than one that has been filed by the petitioner. From the prayers made in the writ petition itself, it is clear that the land admeasuring 0.03 decimals in Plot No.78 and 0.004 decimals in Plot No.79 situated in Village-Phulwarisharif was acquired way back in 1917. It is too late in the day, after nine decades, to raise an issue that there was no valid acquisition or no compensation was paid for such acquisition. The Single Judge is quite right in observing that the petitioner sought to encroach upon portion of the land, which has been vested in the State and started reasserting his right over the acquired land, such act of the appellant (petitioner) - 2 - surely does not deserve to the protected. 3. L.P.A. has no merit. It is dismissed in limine. R. M. Lodha, CJ Kishore K. Mandal, J Pawan/-
