Mohammad Ashfaque v. State Of West Bengal And ORS.

M/L- 117 12/06/2026 Ct. No.-19 Aritra WPA 20491 of 2025 Mohammad Ashfaque Vs.

The State of West Bengal & Ors.

Mr. Nilanjan Bhattacharyya, S.S.C., Ms. Jayita Dhar Chakraborty Mr. Rhitam Chatterjee ....for the State None appears for the petitioners at the time of call. No accommodation has been sought for either.

State is represented by Mr. Bhattacharyya, learned Senior Standing Counsel.

After going through the averments made in the writ petition as well as reliefs claimed therein, this Court is of the view that the petitioner has alleged inaction on the part of the respondent authorities in the matter of conversion of the nature, character and classification of the land in question. Thus the petitioner has alleged inaction on the part of an authority under the West Bengal Land Reforms Act, 1955, which is a specified Act under Section 2(r) of the West Bengal Land Reforms and Tenancy Tribunal Act, 1997.

In view of the availability of alternative and efficacious remedy under the 1997 Act, this Court is not inclined to entertain this writ petition.

Accordingly, the writ petition stands dismissed as not entertained.

It is, however, made clear that this order shall not preclude the petitioner from approaching the proper forum in accordance with law for appropriate reliefs.

There will be no order as to costs.

All parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court. (Hiranmay Bhattacharyya, J.)
