No. 6 : Ms. Manjulika Horo, Advocate …...... 02 /20.08.2026: Heard the learned counsel representing the petitioner and the learned counsel representing the respondents. 2. After the cancellation of the Jamabandi though it is long standing but the issue remains in respect of decision of right, title and interest of the parties as it has been directed to open Jamabandi in the name of private respondents. 2026:JHHC:25150 2 3. After hearing the parties, I find that the entire dispute revolves around the establishment of the right, title and interest of the parties over the land in question. This type of issue cannot be decided in an application under Article 226 of the Constitution, as it needs detailed oral and documentary evidence. 4. The petitioner should approach the appropriate Civil Court for the remedies and the reliefs as it is necessary to lead evidence to come at a conclusive finding. 5. If any application under Order XXXIX Rule 1 & 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure is filed along with plaint, it is expected that the Trial Court will take up the said application and dispose of the same as early as possible. 6. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of. (ANANDA SEN, J.) 20.08.2026 Tanuj/CP-2 Uploaded on 21.08.2026
