CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE NAWNEET KUMAR PANDEY

ORAL ORDER

7 16-01-2025

Heard the parties.

The land, in question was given to the petitioners by the committee, constituted under the Bihar Bhoodan Yagna Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as ‘Act’). Later on, it was found that the land, in question which was given to the petitioners, was a Gairmajarua Malik and as per the provisions, it was out of purview of the donation. Thereafter, by the impugned order dated 24.05.2017 passed in Bhoodan Certificate Cancellation Case No. 01/2017-18, the certificate granted to the petitioners was cancelled by the Revenue Officer/ the S.D.O.

¶29

Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that once the committee has issued certificate in favour of the petitioners, the Sub-Divisional Officer has no jurisdiction to cancel it.

¶30

On the other hand, the learned counsel for the State and the learned counsel for the Bhoodan Committee have jointly submitted that the land does not belong to the committee and therefore, the committee has no jurisdiction to settle it to the petitioners. It has also been submitted that the petitioners may take the recourse of alternative remedies, provided to an aggrieved person under Section 17 or 17A of the Act.

¶31

Patna High Court CWJC No.11246 of 2017(7) dt.16-01-2025 3/3

¶32

Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of with

¶33

the observation that the petitioners may take the recourse of

¶34

alternate remedies, provided under the Act.
