Chaturvedi, Advocate For the State: AC to GA-III ------ 05/12.08.2026 In this writ petition, the petitioner has prayed for direction upon the respondent No. 3 for expeditious hearing and disposal of Miscellaneous Case No. 09/2022, which is pending before the learned court of Deputy Commissioner, Koderma. It has also been prayed for direction upon respondent No. 3 for digitalization of the land record with legitimate rectification. 2. During course of argument, learned counsel for the petitioner admits that Miscellaneous Case No. 9 of 2022 which was pending before the Deputy Commissioner, Koderma has already been disposed of. 3. Considering the aforesaid submission, so far as the first prayer of the petitioner is concerned, the same has become infructuous. 4. The second prayer of the petitioner is that a direction be given upon respondent No.3 to digitalize the land record with legitimate rectification. The land records which the State is maintaining in physical mode needs to be uploaded in the digital platform and it is admitted that the same is being done. 5. There is nothing in the prayer portion of the petitioner, as to which records need to be uploaded and digitalized. From paragraph-20(b)(c)(d) of the writ petition, I find that there is apprehension of the petitioner that some Khatian has been forged and manipulated, either to destroy it or to make it dis-appear from the record. 6. If that be so, the petitioner should approach the Deputy Commissioner, Koderma by filing a detailed representation giving the details of the record, which according to the petitioner have been manipulated or destroyed. On receipt of such representation along with sufficient documents and materials, the Deputy Commissioner will pass an appropriate order after making proper verification. 7. Accordingly, this writ petition stands disposed of. Pending, interlocutory applications, if any stand disposed of. (ANANDA SEN, J.) 12th August, 2026 Anu/SKC-CP-02 Uploaded On: 14/08/2026
