CORAM : SRI ANANDA SEN, J. ------ For the Petitioner(s) : Mr. Shree Nivas Roy, Advocate Mr. Sumir Prasad, Advocate For the State : Mr. Ashutosh Anand, AAG-III …...... 02 /30.06.2026: Heard the learned counsel representing the petitioner and the learned counsel representing the respondents. 2. By filing this writ petition the petitioner has prayed to restrain the respondent no. 6-Pawan Sonar from making any construction over Khata No. 62, Plot No. 1597 at village Manakdiha having an area of 52.75 acres which is a GM land which according to the petitioner some portion of which has been purchased by his father. 3. It is the grievance of the petitioner that respondent no. 6 is forcibly making some construction over the land of this petitioner, thus, this Court should injunct the respondent no. 6 from making such construction. 4. From the prayer made by the petitioner it is clear that there is land dispute between the petitioner and the respondent no. 6. This type of land dispute cannot be adjudicated in an 2026:JHHC:19040 2 application under Article 226 of the Constitution. 5. The petitioner without filing any civil suit has approached this Court praying for the relief. Further the civil procedure Court also provides for filing an application under Order XXXIX Rule 1 and 2 of the CPC which the petitioner should avail. Without doing so he rushed to this Court seeking for the relief which is within the domain of the Civil Court. Thus, I am not inclined to entertain this writ petition. 6. Liberty is reserved with the petitioner to approach the Civil Court having competent jurisdiction. 7. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of. 8. If any suit is filed and if any application under Order XXXIX Rule 1 and 2 of the CPC is filed by the petitioner the same should be considered expeditiously as possible without being prejudiced by this order.
