Bagha, it is crystal clear that the land in question that has been acquired stands recorded as Gairmazarua malik parti in Revenue Register and the said Jamabandi has been created without permission of competent authority, It may be Patna High Court CWJC No.5283 of 2015(3) dt.07-07-2025 3/5 submitted that the same raises suspicion because no case number of settlement is mentioned on Jamabandi Pangi (i.e. Register 2).

That it is submitted that as per Report submitted by C O, Piprasi, the land in question over which the petitioners are making claim is a gairmazarua malik parti and settlement of land in question has been done without permission of the competent authorities.
