The present writ petition has been preferred for the following relief(s): for issuance of an appropriate writ, in the nature of writ of Mandamus, directing the respondents to rectify the error that occurred during the digitisation of the revenue records in respect of the petitioner's land situated in Mouza Koilhara, under Madhuban Anchal, District East Champaran. The Khata Nos. 23 and 65 and Khesra Nos. 306, 662, and 678, having a total area of 3 Kattha 15½ Dhur, 1 Kattha Patna High Court CWJC No.10658 of 2025(2) dt.10-07-2025 2/4 14 Dhur, and 5 Kattha respectively were duly recorded in the physical revenue records maintained prior to digitisation under Jamabandi No. 3. During the digitisation process undertaken by the Revenue Authorities, a clerical and inadvertent error has crept in, whereby the petitioner's old Jamabandi No. 3 has been erroneously recorded as Jamabandi No. 420, and further, the aforementioned Khata and Khesra numbers have been entirely omitted from the digital Jamabandi register. It is further prayed that the respondents be directed to digitize and upload online the old Jamabandi No. 14 and Khata no. 435 Khesara no.19 area 1 ½ kattha of the land situated in Hari Narayanpur Mouza, which was also recorded in the revenue record prior to digitisation but has now been omitted and does not reflect in the digital records. The non-inclusion of the aforementioned land records in the digitized system has caused significant hardship and uncertainty to the petitioner in respect of title and possession, despite the petitioner's continuous ownership and possession of the said land. And/or pass such other Order/(s), Direction/(s) as your lordships may deem fit and proper. 3. The matter relates to Khata No. 435, Khesra No. Patna High Court CWJC No.10658 of 2025(2) dt.10-07-2025 3/4 19, area- 1.5 kattha in Hari Narayanpur Mouza in the District of East Champaran. Paragraph 6 to 8 read as follows: 6. That during the digitization process, the petitioner's land, specifically relating to Khata Nos. 23 and 65, Khesra Nos. 306, 662, and 668, as well as Jamabandi No. 3 of the Koilhara Mauza and Jamabandi No. 14 of Hari Narayanpur Mouza, were omitted, and as a result, the said land details are not reflected on the official digital records or the Bihar Bhumi Portal. 7. That thereafter the petitioner submitted online applications on 22.11.2024 and 25.11.2024 via the official 'Parimarjan Plus' portal for rectification of these errors, but till date, no action has been taken by the concerned authorities. 8. That the omission of the above land records from the digital system has seriously prejudiced the petitioner's legal rights in relation to his land, despite his continuous and undisputed possession and ownership. 4. It is unfortunate that even for such smaller issues, the citizen has to approach Patna High Court. The age of the petitioner read as 72 years. 5. In that background, the petitioner is well advised to Patna High Court CWJC No.10658 of 2025(2) dt.10-07-2025 4/4 approach the respondent no. 4 and 5, namely, the District Collector Land Reforms, Pakri Dayal, East Champaran as also the Circle Officer, Madhuban, East Champaran in next two weeks who shall be duty-bound to take the matter to its logical conclusion in next eight weeks. 6. It is to be noted that the application is pending before the Revenue Officers since November 2024. 7. The writ petition is disposed of with aforesaid observation. Vijay Singh/- (Rajiv Roy, J) U
