The petitioners submitted representation which was registered as Miscellaneous Case No.46 of 2022 for release of land from the prohibited list. 4. It is contended by the learned counsel that the Deputy Commissioner has no jurisdiction to restrain the transfer of land by putting it in the prohibited list, in view of the settled law on the point by this Court. 5. From the submissions advanced, it appears that the application for release of the land from the prohibited list has not been disposed of. Accordingly, the Deputy Commissioner, Dhanbad (respondent no. 2) is directed to dispose of Miscellaneous Case No.46 of 2022 in the light of settled law, within six weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. Writ Petition is disposed of. Interlocutory Application, if any, is disposed of. (Gautam Kumar Choudhary, J.) AKT/Satendra
