The State of Bihar through the Chief Secretary, 2. Revenue and Land Reforms Department, Bihar, Patna through its Secretary. 3. Commissioner, Patna Division, Patna. 4. Collector, Patna – Respondents. 2 1.9.2010 The petitioner’s appeal in Ceiling Case No. 3/1977-78 was dismissed. The petitioner moved before the Commissioner, Patna Division praying therein that he may be permitted to file a restoration petition and also seeking liberty to bring to the notice of the Collector, the Urban Land (Ceiling & Regulation) Repeal Act, 1999. The Commissioner by order, dated 21.5.2007 gave liberty to the petitioner to file an application bringing to the notice of the Collector the Repeal Act of 1999. It was held by the Commissioner that since Urban Ceiling Act has been repealed, there was no point in filing the restoration petition. Accordingly the petitioner filed an application in 2007 before the Collector who is the competent authority under the Act which is Annexure 12. The matter is pending before the Collector. Counsel for the petitioner brings to the notice of this court a recent order passed by the Collector on 19.4.2010 (Annexure 4) with respect to urban land ceiling proceeding pending against his brother which was numbered as Urban Land Ceiling Case No. 64/1977-78. The Collector, Patna has passed an order dropping the proceedings and has directed the Circle Officer, 2 Danapur to take necessary action for mutating the name of the petitioner’s brother with respect to the lands in question. I accordingly direct the Collector, Patna-cum- competent authority under the Urban Land Ceiling Act to examine the facts of the petitioner’s case and take a decision in this matter within a period of three months from the date of receipt / production of a copy of this order. This writ petition stands disposed of with the aforesaid direction. haque ( Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
