2. Mr. Awadhesh Kumar Singh, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and Ms. Kumari Amrita, learned counsel appearing for the State-respondents are present and are heard.

3. The main grievance of the petitioner is that the petitioner earlier preferred writ application bearing CWJC No. 18774 of 2024seeking the same relief and the same was disposed of vide order dated 10.12.2024 giving the petitioner a liberty to approach the authority concerned by filing a fresh representation for redressal of his grievance which was raised by him in the writ petition of CWJC No. 18774 of 2024. It is further submitted that the petitioner bonfidely gave the wrong details of Khata number and Khesra number in the writ petition of CWJC No. 18774 of 2024 and thereafter he filed MJC No. 163 of 2025 with a prayer for modification in the writ petition but the same was withdrawn by the petitioner with a liberty to file a fresh writ petition and consequently the petitioner has again filed the present writ petition with the same prayer which was made by him earlier in CWJC No. 18774 of 2024 now giving the correct details of the Khata number and Khesra number in the paragraph no.1.

4. Considering the aforesaid submissions and having

Patna High Court CWJC No.15200 of 2025(2) dt.25-09-2025 3/3 gone through the issue raised by the petitioner it appears that the petitioner has an efficacious remedy under Section 64 of the Right to Fair Compensation & Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation & Resettlement Act, 2013 and the same should have been availed by him, so, considering this aspect he is again given a liberty to raise his issue before the competent authority under the relevant law by filing a fresh representation for redressal of his grievances.

5. If he avails this liberty in the next six weeks from today then the concerned authority will decide his issue as per the provisions of law without being prejudiced with this order according to merit and the period spent by the petitioner in this writ petition as well as in earlier writ petition shall not be taken into consideration while computing the necessary limitation period.
