For the Appellant/s : Mr. Ajit Kumar Singh, Advocate For the Respondent/s : Mr.

=========================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY KUMAR TRIPATHI and HONOURABLE JUSTICE SMT. NILU AGRAWAL ORAL JUDGMENT (Per: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY KUMAR TRIPATHI) Date: 04-05-2017 By a common order dated 13.05.2014 six writ applications were clubbed together because they arose out of same identical question of fact and kind of common order emanating from the level of the D.C.L.R. as well as the Collector, Purnea. Since the appeal of the present appellant was also dismissed by the Collector, who refused to hold him under raiyats (Bataidaar), the writ

Patna High Court LPA No.1388 of 2014 dt.04-05-2017 2/2 application came to be preferred. The learned single Judge went through the order of the D.C.L.R. as well as the Collector and agreed with the concurrent finding that there was no adequate materials and evidence to hold and declare that the appellant was a Bataidaar. When concurrent findings being what they are and nothing new emerging even in the memo of appeal, which can knock out those findings, the affirmance of the orders of the D.C.L.R. and the Collector and refusal to interfere with the same by the learned single Judge cannot be said to be bad law.

Appeal has no merit. It is dismissed.
