Mr. Naresh Chandra Verma, Advocate Mr. Natraj Verma, Advocate Mr. Santosh Bharti, Advocate Mr. Birendra Prasad Singh, AC to SC-19 For the Respondent State: ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE CHAKRADHARI SHARAN SINGH 3 15-05-2023 The writ petition has been filed seeking direction to ORAL ORDER respondents No. 1 to 5 to get the land, which belongs to the petitioners, measured and remove the parcha holders from their land. Learned counsel for the petitioners has submitted that Patna High Court CWJC No.25440 of 2019(3) dt.15-05-2023 despite the fact that the petitioners had made a representation on
15.05.2019 before the District Magistrate, West Champaran, Bettiah, for measurement of the land belonging to the petitioners and those to whom parchas have been issued, till date no action has been taken. Upon perusal of the pleadings in the writ petition, I find that the same raises certain facts touching the petitioners title over the land in question. The petitioners have effective and alternative remedy to get the dispute adjudicated before appropriate authority in accordance with law. After making a representation, the petitioners claim that they have approached this Court. However, on perusal of the writ petition, it appears that the it does not reflect receipt of the representation in the office of the District Magistrate, West Champaran, Bettiah. I am not inclined to entertain this application under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. This writ application is accordingly dismissed. The petitioners shall, however, be at liberty to approach appropriate authority/forum/court for redressal of their grievance. Pawan/- U (Chakradhari Sharan Singh, J)
