Court No. 19 (265719) 15.06.2026 (A 128) (S. Banerjee) WPA 20787 of 2025 Junaid Ashfaque Ansari & Anr. Vs. State of West Bengal & Ors. Mr. Nilanjan Bhattacharjee, Sr. Advocate Ms. Jayita Dhar Chakraborty …for the State Petitioners have prayed for a direction upon the respondent authorities to grant a conversion certificate. None appears for the petitioners at the time of call, no accommodation has been sought for either. Mr. Bhattacharjee, learned Sr. Advocate appearing for the State raises an objection as to the maintainability of the instant writ petition in view of alternative and efficacious remedy available under the West Bengal Land Reforms and Tenancy Tribunal Act, 1997. Upon going through the averments made in the writ petition and the reliefs claimed therein, this Court finds that the petitioners have alleged inaction on the part of the authority under the West Bengal Land Reforms Act, 1955, which is a specified Act under Section 2(r) of the West Bengal Land Reforms and Tenancy Tribunal Act, 1997. 2 In view of availability of alternative efficacious remedy under the 1997 Act, this Court is not inclined to entertain this writ petition. Accordingly, this writ petition stands dismissed as not entertained. It is, however, made clear that this order shall not prevent the petitioner from approaching the appropriate forum in accordance with law. (Hiranmay Bhattacharyya, J.)
