For issuance of an appropriate writ(s)/ order(s)/ direction(s) including the writ of certiorari for quashing and setting aside the order dated 17.04.2023 as passed in T.A. Misc. Case No.239 of 2022-23 (Annexure-4) by the Learned Court of Deputy Commissioner, Seraikella Kharaswan, whereby, permission for sale of Land in Mouza- Purisli under section 49 of CNT Act was granted and the respondent no.10 was directed to pay the amount and fulfill its social obligations as the order is in teeth with the principles of natural justice and contravenes to the order passed by Hon’ble Jharkhand High Court in W.P.(C) No.2704 of 2023. ii. During the pendency of the writ petition, the impugned order dated 17.04.2023 passed in T.A. Misc. Case No.239/2022-23 be kept in abeyance/stayed or status quo shall be maintained over the said land.” 2. Heard learned counsel representing the petitioner and learned counsel representing the respondents. 3. From the aforesaid prayer, it is clear that by the impugned order, an application under Section 49 of the Chota Nagpur Tenancy (CNT) Act, had been allowed, in favour of respondent No.10, which effects the petitioner. 4. Admittedly, there is a provision of Appeal under Section 215 (5) of the CNT Act. Since the impugned order is appealable and there is an Appellate Authority available, I am not inclined to entertain this writ petition. 5. The petitioner is directed to approach the Appellate Authority by filing an Appeal, within four weeks from today. 6. Once the Appeal is filed along with the application for 2026:JHHC:21424 3 condonation of delay, the same will be considered sympathetically taking into account that this writ petition was pending before this Court. 7. It is expected that the Appellate Authority will dispose the Appeal, by passing a reasoned order, after hearing all the parties concerned. 8. With the aforesaid observation and direction, this writ petition stands disposed of. (ANANDA SEN, J.) 20th July, 2026 Prashant. Cp-2 Uploaded on 22.07.2026
