13/ 09.06.2026: This writ application was filed in the year 2018. In spite of several opportunity given, the respondent-State has not chosen to file counter affidavit. On the last date i.e. on 13.05.2026, last chance was also given but in spite of that the State has not complied the order. 2. Considering the same, this Court is proceeding in this matter without counter affidavit. 3. The only prayer made by the petitioner is that if he is sought to be evicted from the possession over Plot No.915 and Plot No.4191 of Khata No.55, Plot No.17 under the Jamshedpur Notified Area, the same should be done in accordance with law. 4. It is the grievance of the petitioner that earlier all these plots were recorded in the name of petitioner’s ancestor but later on due to wrong recording in the records of right, two plots have been recorded in the name of Anabad Bihar Sarkar, due to which the State is trying to dispossess the petitioner. 5. It is submitted that the respondents are taking advantage on the basis of wrong recording in the records of right without following the procedure of law. 6. Considering the said submission, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondents that if they want to evict the petitioner from land in question, they should do so by following the procedure of law.
If the petitioner wants to get the records corrected, it will be open to him to approach the Civil Court for appropriate relief. 7. Accordingly, this writ application is disposed of. (ANANDA SEN, J.) 9th June, 2026 Madhav/- Uploaded on:11 /06/2026
