Holding
The writ petition is disposed after granting the petitioners liberty to approach the Bihar Land Tribunal, Patna.
Summary
The petitioners, Ramagya Choudhary and others, filed a writ petition in the Patna High Court challenging an order dated 10 July 2018 issued by the Additional Collector of Begusarai in a rent‑fixation revision case, which had set aside a prior D.C.L.R. order fixing fair rent. They contended that the Additional Collector’s order was erroneous and sought its setting aside. The respondents, including the State of Bihar and various officials, defended the order. The Court, after hearing counsel, held that the petitioners could seek redress by approaching the Bihar Land Tribunal, Patna, and therefore disposed of the writ petition. No substantive merits of the rent‑fixation dispute were decided. The order was dismissed with liberty granted to approach the tribunal.
Issues considered
- Whether the order dated 10 July 2018 passed by the Additional Collector in the rent‑fixation revision case can be set aside
