The challenge in the present Letters Patent Appeal is to an order passed by the learned Single Judge of this Court on 5^th of

¶23

Patna High Court LPA No.1034 of 2015 dt.19-09-2016

2/2

¶25

February, 2015 whereby the writ application filed by the appellant challenging the order passed by the Collector, Rohtas at Sasaram whereby he has set aside the order passed by the Deputy Collector Land Reforms, Rohtas, remained unsuccessful.

¶26

The learned Single Judge has recorded the finding that the mutation was rightly done in favour of respondent no.5 as he was found in possession of the land in question.

¶27

In terms of Section 11 of Bihar Land Mutation Act, 2011, the mutation proceedings are summary in nature. Since the learned Single Bench has not interfered with the order passed by the Collector, we do not find any justification to interfere with the order of mutation passed in exercise of summary jurisdiction. The appellant is at liberty to avail such other remedy as is available to him in accordance with law.

¶28

The Letters patent appeal is thus dismissed.
