KANT DEVI Vs. STATE OF JHARKHAND

JUDGEMENT

(1.) HEARD the counsel for the petitioners and the State. All these three writ petitions are directed against a common order dated 28.8.1996 passed by the appellate authority, namely the respondent no. 2, in three separate appeals whereby the order dated 10.6.1994 passed by the Special Officer, Scheduled Area Regulation, Ranchi, was set aside and also against a common order dated 3.7.2002, passed in the three separate revision applications, by the Commissioner, South Chotanagpur Division, Ranchi, confirming the order of the appellate authority.

(2.) FACTS and the disputes involved in all these writ petitions are identical and relate to a land bearing plot no. 1080, Khata No.112, area 35 decimals, of village Pandra, district Ranchi, which was originally recorded as a raiyati land in the name of one Soma Oraon, in the records of right.

(3.) BY the impugned appellate order dated 28.8.1996 the Deputy Commissioner, Ranchi, set aside the order of Special Officer as passed in SAR No. 98 of 1990 and directed the respondents in the appeal, namely the present petitioners, to restore the land to the originally recorded tenant, namely, Soma Oraon. Being aggrieved with the order of the appellate authority, the petitioners filed separate revision applications before the Commissioner, South Chotanagpur Ranchi. By the impugned order dated 3.7.2002, the Revisional authority dismissed the revision applications of the petitioners.
