body2022
ORDER : 1. The present writ petition has been filed for quashing order dated 29.10.2021 (Annexure-5 to the writ petition) passed by the Land Reforms Deputy Collector, Gumla (the respondent no. 3) in Mutation Appeal Case No. 17 of 2019-20 whereby the order dated 18.10.2016 passed by the Circle Officer, Sisai (the respondent no. 4) in Mutation Case No. 101 R 27/2016-17 allowing mutation in favour of the petitioner with respect to the land appertaining to plot nos. 2028, 2401, 2057 and 2053 under Khata No. 190, Mouza-Sisai, P.S. No. 76, District-Gumla measuring an area of 3.57 acres, has been set aside. 2. Having heard the learned counsel for the parties and keeping in view that the petitioner has efficacious remedy of preferring revision under Section 16 of the Bihar (now Jharkhand) Tenant’s Holdings (Maintenance of Records) Act, 1973 (in short “the Act 1973”) against the impugned order dated 29.10.2021 passed by the respondent no. 3 in Mutation Appeal Case No. 17 of 2019-20, I am not inclined to entertain the present writ petition at this stage and the same is dismissed as not maintainable. The petitioner is, however, at liberty to take alternative recourse of preferring revision under Section 16 of the Act, 1973.
