2.

--2-- C.M.P. No. 678 of 2023
24 and 25 CPC for framing of issue, i.e., whether the suit is barred under Section 18 of Bihar Privileged Persons Homestead Tenancy Act or not and the learned Court by the impugned order has rejected the same and that has been done erroneously. On this background, he submits that the said
order may kindly be set aside and the proper direction may kindly be issued to frame the said issue in the appeal.
4.
Learned counsel appearing for the sole respondent submits that the maintainability issue was already framed in the suit and in that view of the matter the learned Court has rejected the petition.
5. The Court has gone through the order dated 15.03.2023 which has been impugned in this petition, the learned Court has found that the issue has already framed in the trial Court as issue No.2 and 9. In the trial Court’s judgment issue No.2 is with regard to the maintainability of the suit and issue No.9 is stated that had the Anchal Adhikari, Gandey jurisdiction to grant Basgit Parcha to defendant No.6 to 9 or not. These issues are specific on the maintainability and in view of that the learned appellate court has held that the maintainability issue is already framed by the learned trial court and as such the petition was dismissed. There is no illegality in the order, this petition is dismissed.
