51. sg 06-04-2026 Ct. 19 WPA 18073 of 2025 Maitribala Ghosh & Anr. Versus State of West Bengal & Ors. Mr. Subarna Bank Mr. Sayantan Maity …for the petitioner Mr. Chandi Charan De, AGP Mr. Anirban Sarkar …for the State
Affidavit of service filed in Court is taken on record. The petitioners have prayed for a direction upon the respondent authorities to correct/modify/amend the record of rights in terms of the judgment and decree passed by the Civil Court. After going through the averments made in the writ petition, this Court finds that the petitioner is aggrieved by the inaction on the part of the Block Land & Land Reforms Officer in not taking steps to correct the record of rights in terms of the judgment and decree passed by the Civil Court. Thus, in effect, the petitioner is aggrieved by the 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 At, 1997. Mr. De, learned Additional Government Pleader raises an objection as to the maintainability of this writ petition in view of the alternative and efficacious remedy available under the 1997 Act. Since the 1997 Act provides for an alternative and efficacious remedy, this Court is not inclined to interfere with
this writ petition. Faced with such situation, the learned Advocate for the petitioner prays for leave to withdraw this writ petition with liberty to approach the West Bengal Land Reforms and Tenancy Tribunal in accordance with law. In the light of the submission made by the learned Advocate for the petitioner, this writ petition stands dismissed as withdrawn with the aforesaid liberty.
