Hazarika, SC, Revenue BEFORE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE DEVASHIS BARUAH ORDER Date : 27.07.2026 Heard Ms. S. Das, the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the Petitioners and Ms. G. Hazarika, the learned Standing counsel appearing on behalf of the Respondent No.1. I have also heard Ms. S. Kemprai, the learned Standing counsel appearing on behalf of the Respondent Nos. 2 to 5 and Mr. M. Saikia, the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the Respondent Nos. 6 and 7. 2. The Petitioners herein are aggrieved by the action on the Page No.# 5/6 part of the Respondent Authorities in granting periodic patta in favour of the Respondent Nos. 6 and 7 which the Petitioners claim to be a part of the Annual Patta granted to the Petitioners being Annual Khiraj Patta No.9. 3. It has been duly informed to this Court by Mr. M. Saikia, the learned counsel for the Respondent Nos. 6 and 7 that in respect to the present dispute, a suit is pending before the Court of the learned Civil Judge (Senior Division), Karbi Anglong at Diphu which has been registered and numbered as Title Suit No.8/2020. 4. This Court has also taken note of the dispute and is of the opinion that the dispute is primarily a civil dispute between the Petitioners and the Private Respondents. It is also the observation of this Court that such dispute can only be adjudicated by competent Civil Court. 5. Taking into account that such dispute is presently pending before a competent Civil Court, it is the opinion of this Court that the present proceedings ought not to be proceeded with more particularly in a public law remedy. 6. Accordingly, this Court is not inclined to entertain the instant writ petition for which the writ petition stands dismissed. 7. Before parting with the records, this Court makes it very Page No.# 6/6 clear that the dismissal of the instant writ petition is on the ground of being not entertained and the said dismissal shall not impact the inter-se rights of the parties which are pending before the Civil Court. 8. Interim order passed if any, stands vacated. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
