Though there is provision in the Chhota Nagpur Tenancy Act, but the remedy is now time barred. Thus, if the petitioner is claiming title over the property along with others and is praying for any partition, it would be open to the petitioner to approach the Civil Court by filing the suit for partition and claiming title also over the land. 5. With the aforesaid observation, this writ petition is disposed of. (ANANDA SEN, J.) 17.04.2026 R.Kumar Uploaded on 20.04.2026
