Judgment :-

1. By filing this writ petition, the petitioner has prayed for the following reliefs :-

                  “For quashing of order dated 12.03.2019 passed by Circle Officer, Nagri in Mutation Case No.1739R27 / 2019-20 / Nagri (Impugned Order), whereby and whereunder the application of the petitioner has been rejected without considering that the vendor of the petitioner have been granted a decree by the Hon’ble Supreme Court and after getting order from the Hon’ble Supreme Court for issuance of rent receipt confirmed, rent receipt was also issued in favour of vendor of the petitioner, in spite of the said fact, the application of the petitioner has been rejected without application of mind only relying upon the report of Halkakaramchari and Anchal Amin;”

2. Heard learned counsel representing the petitioner and learned counsel representing the respondents.

3. It is the grievance of the petitioner that his prayer for mutation of the land in question has been rejected by the aforesaid impugned order.

4. Admittedly, the aforesaid order is appealable before the Land Reforms Deputy Collector (LRDC), as per Section 15 of the Bihar (Jharkhand) Tenant’s Holdings (Maintenance of Records) Act, thus I am not inclined to entertain this writ petition.

5. The petitioner should approach the Appellate Authority by filing an appeal.

6. If such appeal is filed, the Appellate Authority will consider that this writ petition was pending before this Court, and will pass an appropriate order on the application under Section 5 of the Limitation Act accordingly.

7. It is expected that the reasoned order will be passed after hearing the petitioner.

8. With the aforesaid observation, this writ petition stands disposed of.
