Respondents/Respondents ----------- 02 24/6/2011 Heard Mr. Dhirendra Kumar Jha no.II for the appellants, and Mr. Shashank Jha, learned Assistant Counsel to Govt. Pleader no.22 for the respondents. This appeal under clause 10 of the letters patent of the High Court of Judicature of Patna has been preferred by the petitioners of CWJC No.5715 of 2010, and are aggrieved by the order dated 8.4.2010, whereby the writ petition has been dismissed with the liberty to exhaust the alternative forum available to the appellants. 2. We have perused the materials on record and considered the submissions of the learned counsel for the parties. It arises out of proceeding under the Bihar Land Reforms (Fixation of Ceiling Area and Acquisition of Surplus Land) Act. The appellants claim to be parcha-holders and are aggrieved by order dated 18.12.2009, passed by the learned Additional Collection, Land 2 Ceiling, Katihar, in Ceiling Appeal no.563 of 1996-97, whereunder the parchas settling the surplus lands of the land-holders with the appellants herein have been cancelled for reopening the land ceiling proceeding against the land-holders in compliance of the order dt. 9.4.97 of the State Government. Furthermore, parchas have been cancelled and the land ceiling proceedings have been initiated in pursuance of the order dt. 9.4.97, passed by the State Government under section 45B of the Act. We entirely agree with the order of the learned Single Judge, whereby the writ petition has been dismissed with the liberty to the petitioners to move the appellate forum. 3. We do not find any merit in this appeal. It is accordingly dismissed. ( S K Katriar ) ( Amaresh Kumar Lal ) mrl
