Respondent/s ====================================================== Appearance : For the Petitioner/s : Dr. Ranjeet Kumar, Advocate Mr. Rohan Sinha, Advocate For the Respondent/s : Mr. SC 16 ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RANA VIKRAM SINGH ORAL ORDER 2 24-06-2026 Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2. The petitioners, 29 in numbers, claiming themselves to be landless persons, have approached this Court for seeking a direction to the respondent, the Collector-cum- District Magistrate, Patna, to consider and dispose off their Patna High Court CWJC No. 7766 of 2026(2 ) dt.24-06-2026 4/5 application dated 23.08.2023 for allotment of 5 decimals of land to each of them and also to provide basic facilities and amenities including the Indira Awas and further they may not be disturbed from their existing residence situated in Village Nandlal Chappra, Thana No. 45, Khata no. 26 Khesra No. 211 until the allotment of 5 decimals of land and grant of the other reliefs as claimed by them. 3. The averments made in the writ application show that petitioners hail from the lowest Strata of society and are spending their lives out of the meager income which they could barely manage in order to sustain themselves and their families. They have been running, as submitted, from the pillar to post for getting their grievances redressed, but it appears that all their plight and pleading seems to have fallen on deaf ears of the authority which reflects the callous approach of respondents towards the hapless petitioners who have been bestowed with the right to live with dignity and to maintain their family with minimum basic amenities for which the welfare State is under constitutional obligation to maintain their citizens on equality basis. The representation dated 23.08.2023 seems to be old one and might not be traced in the Collector’s Office. 4. In these circumstances, the petitioners are given the Patna High Court CWJC No. 7766 of 2026(2 ) dt.24-06-2026 5/5 liberty to file a fresh representation highlighting all their grievances and claims before the Collector, Patna within four weeks from today and it is expected that this time the application would not go uncared and unheeded. The District Magistrate, Patna will ensure the proper disposal of this representation so filed by the petitioners considering their plight and genuineness of their grievances and if the Collector comes to the conclusion that the petitioners are duly entitled to the relief as prayed for, in that circumstance, he will pass necessary orders and take effective steps to ameliorate their hardships. 5. Accordingly, this writ application is disposed with the aforesaid direction. shivangi/Prakash (Rana Vikram Singh, J) U
