The present writ petition has been filed for quashing order dated 22.10.2021 (Annexure-14 to the writ petition) passed by the respondent no. 3 in SAR Case No. 481/2006-07 by which the land appertaining to Mouza-Hatma, Thana No. 200, Khata No. 33, Plot Nos. 824, 825, 826 and 1010 have been ordered to be restored in favour of the respondent no. 4 – Moti Khalkho under the provisions of Section 71-A of Chota Nagpur Tenancy Act, 1908 primarily on the ground that the said land was converted into “Chhapparbandi” in the year 1934 and no permission was taken from the respondent no. 2 – the Deputy Commissioner, Ranchi, whereas the approval of the respondent no. 2 was essential till the year 1938 and hence, the conversion of land into “Chhapparbandi” became irrelevant. The petitioners have further prayed for restraining the respondents from taking any coercive measures against them in pursuance of impugned order dated 22.10.2021 since they have been residing over the respective plots of land for last several decades and that the said order passed by the respondent no. 3 is palpably illegal particularly keeping in view that the conversion of the said land into “Chhapparbandi” in the year 1934 could not have been questioned by the said respondent while deciding the application under Section 71-A of the CNT Act.
