For the Petitioner/s :

For the Respondent/s : Mr. G.K. AGRWAL =========================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE KISHORE KUMAR MANDAL ORAL JUDGMENT Date: 28-06-2016 Heard.

The application is directed against the order dated 12.01.2013 passed by the respondent-Deputy Collector Land Reforms, Benipur in land dispute Resolution Case no. 59/2012-13. The said proceeding was filed by the petitioner on which the D.C.L.R. closed the proceeding of the petitioner noticing the fact

Patna High Court CWJC No.22301 of 2013 dt.28-06-2016 2/2 that the matter was raised before and decided by the court of Competent Civil Jurisdiction wherein the claim of the petitioner was negated. This could have been treated as the disposal of the matter and if the petitioner was aggrieved thereby, he could have filed an appeal thereagainst. Instead of doing so, the writ petition is filed.

In my view, the writ application is fit to be dismissed as the petitioner has alternative statutory remedy available to him. The writ application is dismissed.

Dismissal of this application shall, however, not preclude the petitioner from invoking the relevant jurisdiction of the authority under the Bihar Land Dispute Resolution Act 2009 for ventilating his grievance as raised in this writ petition. (Kishore Kumar Mandal, J) rohit/- U
