This writ petition has been preferred, inter alia, for quashing the order dated 25.01.1997 passed by respondent no.2 in Revision Case No. 85 of 1996, whereby the order dated 13.05.1996 passed by respondent no.3 in Misc. Case No.215 of 1995 in exercise of powers under Section 10B of the Bihar Consolidation and Holdings and Prevention of Fragmentation Act had been set aside.
After hearing the parties, this Court is of the opinion
Patna High Court CWJC No.4435 of 1997(14) dt.09-12-2021 2/2 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 both these cases were pending before this Court since long, it is expected that the Tribunal will hear and dispose of the cases within a period of nine months from the date of receipt of record of these cases after giving proper notice to all the parties concerned, including the petitioners.
With the aforesaid observation and direction, both these writ petitions stand disposed of.
