IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA CONSTITUTIONAL WRIT JURISDICTION APPELLATE SIDE
WPA 22400 of 2026
Sandip Sengupta Versus The State of West Bengal & Ors.
Mr. Sabyasachi Chatterjee
Mr. Pintu Karar
… For the petitioner.
Mr. Susanta Dutta
Mr. Sarban Bhattacharjee
… For the State.
Mr. Vivekanando Bose
Mr. S. Mukherjee
Mr. S. Kar
… For the private respondents.
1. Complaining 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, the instant writ petition has been filed.
2. Since, according to the learned advocate for the petitioner, the aforesaid inaction forms the basis for the challenge, I am of the view that there is no scope to entertain the present writ petition before this Court at the first instance having regard to the judgment delivered in the case of L. Chandra Kumar vs. Union of India & Ors. reported in 1997(3) SCC 261.
3. At this stage, the learned advocate for the petitioner seeks leave to withdraw the writ petition with

liberty to approach the appropriate forum, in accordance with law.
4. Accordingly, the writ petition stands dismissed as withdrawn.
