3.
Admittedly, the Original Suit No.56 of 2024 is pending before the Civil Judge (Senior Division)-I, Madhupur, District Deoghar.
4.
When the Civil Suit is pending, the petitioner should have approached the Civil Court in the said Civil Suit, for redressal of his grievance, rather he has rushed to this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, by challenging the order as contained in Memo No.1031 dated 14.11.2025 (Annexure-9 to the writ petition).
5.
Since the aforesaid Civil Suit is already pending, I am not inclined to entertain this writ petition.
6.
Accordingly, this writ petition stands dismissed.
7.
However, the petitioner is at liberty to approach the Civil
2026:JHHC:12340 3
