The petitioners case is that they have no knowledge about any proceeding under the Bihar Privileged Persona Homestead Tenancy Act, 1947 (hereinafter referred to as the Act) or under the Consolidation proceeding in respect of plot no. 467. It is further stated that respondent no. 5 fraudulently obtained some order with respect to plot no. 467 and moved the District Magistrate for possession over the same and the District Magistrate without any authority of law passed the impugned order. 3. A counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of respondents 1 to 4, the State of Bihar and its officers. In the counter affidavit statement made in paragraph 1 have been denied.

It is further stated that in plot no. 467 ales 7 decimals respondent no. 6 has her Bari, Sahan and court-yard etc. Both the plots are amalgamated. It is then stated that "Parcha was granted in the name of respondent no. 6 in the year 1970. The Block Development Officer made a spot enquiry to verify the possession and possession of respondent no. 6 was confirmed vide enquiry report dated 5.8.1979. In paragraph 6 it has been stated that in the Consolidation proceeding a direction has been given to enter the same of Dilawar Baitha, husband of respondent no. 6 in respect of plot no. 467 as will appear from Annexure-A to the counter-affidavit, In paragraph 7 of the counter affidavit it has been Stated that writ petitioner no. 1 Sone Lal Sahani purchased 5 decimals of land from petitioner no. 2 without the permission of the Consolidation Officer and on that ground the purchase was null and void. The petitioners possession over the plots in question has been denied and it has been further stated that purcha was issued in the name of respondent no. 6 under the Privileged Person. Homestead Tenancy Act, in respect of the disputed plot after due notice to the persons concerned by the-authorities it is further stated in the counter affidavit that after the purcha was granted the petitioners have illegally occupied some portions of the disputed plots and in such a situation the District Magistrate bad to direct the concerned authorities to get the illegal occupation vacated. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioners bas submitted that before passing the impugned order and directing the authorities to remove the petitioners from the plots in question, the procedure laid down in Rule 5 of the Bihar Privileged Persons Homestead Tenancy Rules, 1948 (hereinafter referred to as the Rules) should have been followed. Hi, submission is that no enquiry as contemplated under rule 5 of the Rules was made nor any notice was given to the petitioners before passing impugned order. 5. Hi, submission is that no enquiry as contemplated under rule 5 of the Rules was made nor any notice was given to the petitioners before passing impugned order. 5. Section 5 of the Act, provides that if any privileged tenant has been ejected by his landlord from hill homestead or any part thereof within one year before the date of commencement of the Act, otherwise than in due course of law, the privileged tenant may apply to the Collector for restoration of his possession over the homestead or part thereof from which he has been ejected. Admittedly this section does not apply to the facts of this case. Section 8 of the Act, enumerates the grounds on which is privileged tenant may be ejected. Section 8 (1) provides the ground on which the privileged tenant shall be liable for ejectment. Under sub-section (3) of section 8 the Collector shall make such enquiry as he thinks fit on receipt of an application under the first proviso to sub-section (1) or may reject the application or grant it either unconditionally or subject to condition as may appear to him just and proper. Then comes section 8 (5) and 8 (6) of the Act, on which reliance has been placed by the learned counsel for the petitioners. They read as under:- "8 (5) If a privileged tenant has been ejected by his landlord from his homestead or any part thereof, other wise than in accordance with the provision contained in sub-section (1), then the tenant may apply to the Collector for restoration of his possession over the homestead or part thereof, from which be has been so ejected. 8 (6) The Collector may on receipt of an application under sub-section (5) or on his own motion, after making such enquiry as he deem fit order that the privileged tenant shall be put in possession of the homestead or part thereof from which he has been so ejected.” These two sub-sections contemplate the situation where a privileged tenant has been ejected by his landlord otherwise than the provisions contained in sub-section (1). In that case a tenant, that is to say, the privileged tenant may apply to the Collector for restoration of his possession over the homestead or part thereof and on receipt of such an application under sub-section (5) the Collector after making such enquiry as he deems tit, order that his privileged tenant may be put in possession. It was submitted that in case of an application under sub-section (5) of 8 of the Act, also the procedure laid down under Rule 5 shall have to be followed. It is not possible to accept this argument made by the learned counsel. Rule 3 (a) of the Rules provides that an application to be made by a privileged tenant under sub-section (1) of section 5 shall be in Form A. Rules 3 (b) provides that an application to be made either by a landlord or by a privileged tenant under sub-section (1) of section 6 for fair and equitable rent for the holding shall be made in Form B. Rule 3 (c) provides that an application to be made by a landlord under the first proviso to sub-section (1) of section 8 for ejectment of the privileged tenant, shall be Form C. Rule 3 (d) provides that an application to be made by a mortgagor under sub- section (1) of section 13 for ejectment of the mortgage shall be in Form D and Rule 3 (e) provides that an application to be made under sub-section (1) of section 15 for ejecting a transferee shall in Form E. In the present case Rule 3 has no application in as much as no application wall made under section 5 (1), 6 (1), proviso to sub-section (1) of section 8. section 13 (1) or section 15 (1) of the Act. If any application is made under the provisions mentioned under Rule 3 then on receipt of such application, it is provided under Rule 4, that the Collector shall start a procedure under the relevant sections to which the application relates and deal with the same in the matter provided for the land revenue cases. It is then that under Rule 5 the Collector shall either himself make local enquiry or have such enquiry made by any responsible officer not below the rank of a Circle Inspector or Welfare Inspector and satisfy himself as to the correctness or otherwise of the contents of such application. It is then that under Rule 5 the Collector shall either himself make local enquiry or have such enquiry made by any responsible officer not below the rank of a Circle Inspector or Welfare Inspector and satisfy himself as to the correctness or otherwise of the contents of such application. It is further provided that in any such enquiry, notice will be issued to all the interested parties. The submission of the learned counsel is that Rules 4 and 5 of the Rules are different and the local enquiry, contemplated under Rule 5 is not connected with any "application mentioned in Rule 3 the argument is devoid of any substance. Had it been so, Rule 3 would have mentioned about the applications to be made under section 8 (5), and 8 (6) of the Act. The omission to mad reference to sections 8 (5) and 8 (6) in Rule 3 is quite logical. Sections 8 (5) and 8 (6) contemplate a situation when after a person has been declared as privileged tenant has been dispossessed by some one. The purcha is granted under the Act, after due enquiry and notice to the parties concerned and if after the grant of Purcha and confirming possession of a privileged tenant over certain land some one dispossesses a privileged tenant from that land then in that situation no further enquiry is called for. In that case the only thing which has to be found is about illegal possession by a third person after dispossessing the privileged tenant. It is in that situation that Rules 3, 4 and 5 do not mention about any application made under sections 8 (5) and 8 (6) of the Act. So far the present case is concerned, position appears to be that a purcha was granted to respondent no.6 in the year 1970 after due enquiry and after giving notice to the husband of respondent no.6. Petitioner no.1 seems to have purchased litigation some times in the year 1970 and, therefore, his alleged possession is clearly illegal. The law provides that in such a case District Magistrate may order for eviction of the person illegally occupying the land of the privileged tenant either on his won motion or on an application made in that behalf after making such enquiry as he deems fit. That is what the district Magistrate has done by passing the order in Annexure-1. 6. That is what the district Magistrate has done by passing the order in Annexure-1. 6. Learned counsel for the petitioner has relied upon two decisions of this Court in Hiralal Vishwakarma Vs. Vishwanath Sah and others and in the case of Bhagsaran Rai Vs. The State of Bihar and others. None of these decision are relevant for the purpose of decision of this case. Facts are entirely different. In this case of Hiralal Vishwakarma (Supra) the prayer was to quash an order declaring a person to be a privileged tenant. In that it was held that an enquiry should have been made either by the Collector or by a responsible officer before declaring a person to be a privileged tenant. An enquiry made by the Karamchari was not sufficient. This case has absolutely no relevance to the facts of the present case. In the case of Bhagsaran Rai (Supra) no proceeding seems to have been initiated under the Act, and the parties including the petitioners were not noticed. The order had been passed without initiation of any proceeding. This case has also0 no application to the facts and circumstances of the present case. 7. I do not find any illegality in the order made in Annexure-1. The District Magistrate was completely justified in ordering the eviction of the petitioners from the plots in question petitioner no.1, in my opinion, has only purchased a bundle of litigation from petitioner no.2 and his conduct is not bona fide. I don not see any reason to interfere with the impugned order. The result is that this application fails and is dismissed but without costs. Application dismissed.
