The petitioners filed this writ petition for quashing the order dated 30.08.2005 passed by learned Additional Member, Board of Revenue, Bihar in Revision Case No.282 of 2004 by which the learned Additional Member confirmed the order dated 20.10.2004 passed by Additional Collector (respondent no.3) passed in Mutation Appeal No.142 of 2004-05 and order dated 06.08.2004 passed by D.C.L.R. in Ceiling Case No.38 of 2002-

Patna High Court CWJC No.6081 of 2006(10) dt.18-01-2020 2/2 03 by which the application of the petitioners for pre-emption has been rejected.

Now right of pre-emption has already been abolished by amending Act (06 of 2019) by which Section 16(3) of the Bihar Land Reforms (Fixation of Ceiling Area and Acquisition of Surplus Land) Act has been repealed.

Having considered the facts, I do not find any merit in this writ petition. Accordingly, the same is dismissed. (Prabhat Kumar Jha, J) Harish/- U
