3. Learned counsel for the State submits that the District Compassionate Committee, at the time of rejecting the claim of the petitioner, has taken a reasonable decision, as the committee has described the situation under which the claim of the petitioner was not considered.

4. Upon perusal of the same, it transpires to this Court that a disputed question is involved in the present matter, therefore, this case cannot be decided by the Writ Court. As such, the petitioner shall be at liberty to file a Title Suit before the Civil Court for a declaration that she is the only heir of her father.

5. Accordingly, the present writ petition stands disposed off.
