It is the grievance of the petitioner that the ancestral land which belongs to the father of this petitioner was sold to the BCCL by the petitioner’s mother and two other brothers without 2026:JHHC:14906 2 informing this petitioner who is also co-sharer. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the share of the sale proceeds should be given to her. 3. Considering the nature of dispute, I am not inclined to entertain this writ petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution. 4. The petitioner, if so advised, may file suit for partition of the ancestral land in question and claiming her share in the sale proceeds which has been sold. 5. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of. (ANANDA SEN, J.) 14.05.2026 Tanuj/CP-2 Uploaded on 15.05.2026
