For any other relief or reliefs which the honble court deems fit in the facts and circumstances of the case 3. The petitioner claims to have been granted/ donated a piece of land by the respondent, Bhoodan Yagna Committee and the details are as follows: Khata no. 54; Khesra No. - 157; Thana No. 359; area- 14 decimal in the district of Gopalgang in the year 1977. Patna High Court CWJC No.7389 of 2025(2) dt.24-03-2026 3/4 4. The submission is that he is having peaceful possession of the land for several decades but now respondent no. 9 has also laid claim on 10 decimal of land stating that the Bhoodan Yagna Committee has donated him the said land. 5. This writ petition is bereft of any Annexure which could support the case of the petitioner. 6. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he is a poor man, unable to put forward all the documents but the Bhoodan Yagna Committee being the custodian of records, they can very well throw light in the matter. The submission is that, he is ready to approach ‘the Committee’ who must come to his aid as after donating him the land (14 decimal) in the year 1977, ‘the Committee’ cannot carve out 10 decimal of land for Prabhu Tiwary (respondent no. 9). 7. Bhoodan Yagna Committee is represented, as recorded above and this Court would expect the Bhoodan Yagna Committee to clarify the entire matter on the point: (i) whether the petitioner/his family members were granted/donated the land (14 decimal) as claimed by him or not; (ii) in case, it has been granted, whether for the same land, respondent no. 9 has also been donated 10 decimal; (iii) if the answer to both the questions Patna High Court CWJC No.7389 of 2025(2) dt.24-03-2026 4/4 is/are in affirmative, the Committee has to take a decision to shift the respondent no. 9 to any other place and certainly, cannot disturb the peaceful physical possession of the petitioner herein. 8. The petitioner will be filing a representation in next eight weeks and the Committee shall be deciding the matter three months thereafter. 9. The writ petition is disposed of with aforesaid observation. Vijay Singh/- (Rajiv Roy, J) U
