Holding
The High Court declined to interfere with the Collector’s order and disposed of the writ petition, directing the Bihar Land Tribunal to determine the matter within six months.
Summary
Petitioner Vindi Sada filed a writ petition seeking to quash the Collector’s order dated 04-02-2025 that cancelled the Basgit Parcha issued in his favour for land in Simrahi, Supaul. The petitioner argued that the cancellation was illegal and sought relief from the High Court. The Court observed that the petitioner has an alternative remedy before the Bihar Land Tribunal and therefore was not inclined to interfere directly with the Collector’s order. It directed the Tribunal to decide the issue, including the question of limitation, within six months. Consequently, the writ petition was disposed of without granting any substantive relief.
Issues considered
- Whether the High Court can quash the Collector’s order cancelling the Basgit Parcha.
- Whether the existence of an alternative remedy before the Bihar Land Tribunal bars the writ petition.
- Whether the limitation period applies to the petitioner's claim.
