No title record has been brought in the writ petition and only on the basis of some revenue receipt, the claim has been made. 4. The rejoinder to the counter affidavit records that it has devolved upon him on the basis of family partition. However, it skips the original point raised by the State respondents that it being Gair Majarua Khas land, has not been settled to anyone. 5. Learned State Counsel submits that even otherwise, it is a disputed question of title which cannot be settled in the writ petition. 6. Be that as it may, since there is no appearance, Patna High Court CWJC No.4974 of 2014(6) dt.30-06-2025 3/3 dismissed for non-prosecution. 7.
