IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.11189 of 2007 Nemdhari Rai S/O Late Horil Rai, resident of Village- Dighi Kalaun, P.O. Hajipur, Anchal and P.S. Hajipur, District- Hajipur ---- Petitioner. Versus 1. The State of Bihar 2. The Deputy Director, Consolidation (Head Quarter), Bihar, Patna. 3. The Deputy Director, Consolidation, Vaishali at Hajipur. 4. Raj Kumari Devi W/O Mahendra Rai, resident of Village- Dighi Kalan, P.S. Hajipur, Sadar P.O. and Anchal- Hajipur, District- Vaishali --- Respondents. -------- 2. 9.2.2009 None appears on behalf of the petitioner. Heard learned Assistant Counsel to Government Advocate No. 6. This writ petition is directed against the order dated 31.8.1999, passed by the learned Deputy Director, Consolidation, Bihar, Patna, in purported exercise of powers under section 35 of the Bihar Consolidation of Holdings and Prevention of Fragmentation Act, 1956 (hereinafter referred to as the Act), in Revision Case No. 359 of 1998 (Raj Kumari Devi Vrs. Nemdhari Rai), whereby he has allowed the revision application preferred by respondent no.4 herein (Raj Kumari Devi), and has set aside the order of the learned appellant authority. It appears from a perusal of the writ petition that one of the grievances raised by the petitioner (opposite party before the learned revisional authority) is that he was not heard by the learned revisional authority. It appears to me on a perusal of the 2 impugned order that notices were validly served on the opposite party, Nemdhari Rai (the petitioner herein), and he did not appear before the learned revisional authority. It is evident that he was afforded opportunity of hearing but he did not avail of the opportunity. It further appears that revision application was allowed for the reason that the petitioner therein (respondent no.4 herein) had purchased the land in question by a registered deed of absolute sale dated 17.8.1995, and is in peaceful possession of the same. In that view of the matter, the impugned order can not be faulted. The writ petition is dismissed. Vinay/ ( S. K. Katriar , J.)
