It is the grievance of the petitioner that the Circle Officer has issued Land Possession Certificate in favour of the private respondents showing an area, more than the actual area which is there in the Khatiyan. He further submits that private respondents have encroached upon the land of the petitioner in Khata No. 2 Plot No. 512, thana Giridih area 45.25 decimal, by virtue of the said Land, Possession Certificate and thus, in fact, they dispossess the petitioner. He further submits that on the basis of the said Land, Possession ( 2026:JHHC:20426 ) 3 Certificate, the sale deed was executed for more than the actual land which was available. 4. Considering the submission of the petitioner and the prayer made in the writ petition and the statement made therein, it is quite clear that the dispute is in respect of the right, title and possession of land in question. It is also to be decided as to whether the land in excess of the actually recorded land has been transferred or not. All these disputed question of facts cannot be decided in an application under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. Thus, the petitioner should approach the Civil Court of appropriate jurisdiction. 5. Accordingly, this writ petition stands disposed of. Pending I.A. shall stands disposed of.
