JUSTICE RAJESH SHANKAR For the Appellants : Mr. Sandip Kumar Burnwal, Advocate For the Respondent No. 1 : Mr. Ratnesh Kumar, SC (L&C)-I Mr. Rakesh Kr Shahi, AC to SC (L&C)-I For the Respondent No. 3 : Mr. L.C.N. Shahdeo, Advocate ----- Order No. 11 Dated: 10.03.2026 1. Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2. Learned counsel for the parties agree that this appeal could be finally disposed of. Therefore, with their consent, we proceed to dispose of this appeal finally. 3. Learned counsel for the 3rd respondent fairly accepted that long running jamabandi entries cannot be cancelled by the revenue authorities. This is even otherwise the correct legal position. Therefore, we quash and set-aside the impugned orders dated 14.05.2013 and 31.07.2015 passed by the Land Reforms Deputy Collector, Bermo at Tenughat and the Additional Collector, Bokaro respectively on this short ground. However, we clarify that by 2026:JHHC:6293-DB 2 setting-aside the above orders on the above ground, we are not deciding any issues of title or possession of the parties over the subject property. The learned counsel for the parties agree that such disputes will have to be decided by the Civil Court, uninfluenced by the effect of the revenue records or revenue entries. 4. The learned counsel for the 3rd respondent states that the 3rd respondent will institute a suit raising all claims and seeking appropriate reliefs. If such suit is indeed instituted, then, the Civil Court, must decide the same on its own merits and in accordance with law without, in any manner, being influenced either by the impugned orders that we have now set-aside or the present order. All contentions of all parties on issues of title, possession etc. are kept explicitly open for the decision of the Civil Court. 5. To the above extent therefore, we interfere and modify the order of the learned Single Judge which is impugned in this appeal. 6. This appeal is disposed of in the above terms without any order for costs. 7. I.A. No. 13263 of 2025 also stands disposed of. (M. S. Sonak, C.J.) (Rajesh Shankar, J.)
