JUSTICE BIRENDRA PRASAD VERMA ORAL ORDER 6 14-12-2015 Despite repeated calls, none appears on behalf of the petitioner in support of the present writ petition, though the name of the learned counsel appearing on his behalf is printed in the daily cause list. Learned State counsel, appearing on behalf of the respondent nos. 1 to 3 and 5, on the other hand, submits that the present writ petition is not maintainable before this Court at this stage as the petitioner has an alternative and equally efficacious remedy before the learned Bihar Land Tribunal, Patna in view of the provisions contained in Section 9 of The Bihar Land Tribunal Act, 2009.
Be that as it may, since none is appearing on behalf of the petitioner, the writ petition stands dismissed for want of prosecution.
