This writ petition has been preferred, inter alia, for quashing the order dated 11.09.1997 passed by respondent no.2 in Revision Case No.322 of 1995, whereby he has allowed the

Patna High Court CWJC No.10884 of 1997(20) dt.09-12-2021 2/2 revision application directly filed by respondent nos.3 & 4 and directed to record the name of respondent nos.3 and 4 in the Khata and also the possession in respect of the land in dispute. After hearing the parties, this Court is of the opinion that these matters 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 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 this case after giving proper notice to all the parties concerned, including the petitioners.

With the aforesaid observation and direction, these writ petitions stand disposed of.
