This writ petition has been preferred for issuance of a writ in the nature of certiorari for quashing the order dated 10.01.1996 passed by Deputy Director, Consolidation (Headquarter), Bihar, Patna, respondent no.1, in Revision Case No.133 of 1995.

After hearing the parties, this Court is of the opinion that this matter can well be adjudicated by the Bihar Land Tribunal (hereinafter in short referred to as the 'Tribunal'). Accordingly, in view of proviso to Section 15 of the Bihar Land Tribunal Act, 2009, the Registry is directed to transmit the record of this case to the Tribunal forthwith. However, considering the fact that the case was pending before this Court since long, it is expected that the
