JUSTICE DEVASHIS BARUAH ORDER 09.02.2026 Heard Ms. L Wajeeda, the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the Page No.# 9/10 petitioner. Also heard Mr. J Handique, the learned Government Advocate, Assam who appears on behalf of the respondent Nos.2, 3, 4 and 5 and Ms. G Hazarika, the learned Standing Counsel, Revenue Department who appears on behalf of respondent No.1 2. The grievance of the petitioners for which the instant writ petition has been filed is that the respondent authorities have not considered the application for allotment/settlement of the land in question under Khatian No.1, 32, 45, 46, 49, 50, 51, 52, 55, 58, 59, 62, 64 and 73 of Village Bamunpara Part 3 under the Circle Officer, Bilasipara Revenue Circle in favour of the petitioners. 3. This Court enquired with the learned counsel for the petitioners as to which is the application which has been filed by the petitioners. Attention was drawn to Annexure-4 to the writ petition. A perusal of the said annexure reveals that all the 41 writ petitioners have joined together to file one joint application seeking allotment/settlements. 4. Mr. J Handique, the learned Government Advocate, appearing on behalf of the respondents submits that if a person claims allotment/settlement on the basis of his rights, the said application has to be filed electronically through the Sewa Setu Portal and further the said applications cannot be a joint application as has been sought to be done by way of Annexure-4 to the writ petition. 5. This Court has also perused the Assam (Temporarily Settled Areas) Tenancy Act, 1971 and the Rules framed thereinunder. It is the opinion of this Court that the if petitioners herein claim that they are entitled to allotment/settlement, the petitioners are required to file individual application claiming such rights. 6. Under such circumstances, this Court is, therefore, not inclined to entertain Page No.# 10/10 the instant proceedings on the basis of Annexure-4 to the writ petition. Accordingly, the writ petition stands dismissed. 7. Liberty, however, is given to the petitioners to apply in the proper manner in the Sewa Setu Portal by filing respective applications seeking allotment/settlement. 8. It is observed that in the circumstance, such application is filed and not considered within a reasonable time, the petitioners would be at liberty to approach this Court again.
