Tarkeshwar Singh v. The State of Bihar
Case brief
What is this about?
Patna High Court, Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.13965 of 2021, decided 13-03-2026 by Sourendra Pandey, J. (oral judgment, NAFR). Tarkeshwar Singh v. The State of Bihar through Principal Secretary, Revenue and Land Reform Department & Ors. (Collector/DM East Champaran, Addl. Collector East Champaran, Anchaladhikari Chakia). Subject: mutation of name and creation of Jamabandi over land at Village-Kuwarpur, P.S.-Pipra, District-East Champaran. Writ disposed as infructuous because the final mutation order dated 18.08.2021 (Annexure-B) had already rejected the application citing pendency of Title Suit No. 465 of 2014 and Section 6(12) of the Bihar Land Mutation Act, 2011; petitioner left at liberty to apply afresh after disposal of the title suit. Only statute referenced: Bihar Land Mutation Act, 2011, Section 6(12). No precedents cited or discussed.
What did the court decide?
No substantive relief on the prayers for mutation/Jamabandi; liberty granted to the petitioner to move the appropriate authority once Title Suit No. 465 of 2014 is disposed of.
