Mr.Md.Khurshid Alam (Aag12) ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE PRABHAT KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER 31-10-2023 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the State.

2. This writ petition has been filed for setting aside order dated 26.2.2019 passed by the District Magistrate, Gaya in Ceiling Misc.Case No.28 of 1999-2000.

3. At the outset, learned counsel for the State raises preliminary objection that the petitioners have got statutory alternative remedy of appeal before the Divisional Commissioner under the Bihar Land Reforms (Fixation Of Ceiling Area And Acquisition Of Surplus Land) Act, as such, without exhausting the remedy of appeal, no writ shall lie.

4. The learned counsel for the petitioners does not dispute the aforesaid proposition.

5. In the above view of the matter, this Court is not inclined to interfere in the matter in its extra-ordinary writ jurisdiction.

Patna High Court CWJC No.17340 of 2019(3) dt.31-10-2023 3/3

6. This writ petition is disposed of with a direction and observation that petitioners shall have liberty to move before the appropriate authority within a period of six weeks from today.

7. It goes without saying that if any question of limitation arises before the competent authority, the same shall be considered, taking into consideration the fact that the petitioners were pursuing the issue before this Court. (Prabhat Kumar Singh, J) Shashi U
