It is the case of the petitioner that the petitioner was working in Hyderabad and when he came to Ranchi, he saw that over his land appertaining to plot No.216, Sub-plot 216/B-3, Khata No.2, measuring an area 0.07 acres i.e. 7 decimals Village- Bariatu, a multistoried building has been constructed. It is the case that he has been illegally ousted and the plan of multistoried building was sanctioned without verifying the title of the petitioner and thus, the petitioner has been illegally dispossessed. 5. Learned counsel for the respondents- Municipal Corporal submits that it is the father of this petitioner and brother who had given the power of attorney and thereafter the construction was made, which the petitioner opposes and submits that said power of attorney was not in respect of the land which belongs to the petitioner rather it is of the land which belong to the father and brother of the petitioner. 6. The fact remains that over the land a multistoried building has been constructed. The petitioner claims title of the said property and he claims that he has been dispossessed. He also claims that the Municipal Corporation has wrongly sanctioned the map with a mala-fide motive, illegally. 7. All these allegations cannot be adjudicated in an application under Article 226 of the Constitution. The petitioner has to establish his title or to get the same reaffirmed and thereafter, must claim repossession of the land. Further, petitioner has to pray for evicting the person who is occupying the land of the petitioner once the petitioner successfully ables to establish his title over the same. All these cannot be adjudicated in a writ petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution, that too in criminal jurisdiction. 8. The petitioner has to approach the Civil Court of appropriate jurisdiction claiming relief. This writ petition thus, cannot be entertain, the same is dismissed. (ANANDA SEN, J.) R.S./
