Court: Patna

Decided on: Apr-07-2010

Shiva Kirti Singh, J.1. All the five writ petitions relate to same subject matter of preemption under Section 16 (3) of the Bihar Land Reforms (Fixation of Ceiling Area and Acquisition of Surplus Land) Act, 1961 (hereinafter referred to as the Act.).

The vendor Ramdeo Choudhary was one of the sons of Anandi Choudhary who had acquired the lands in question by a registered sale deed dated 20-6-1981. He claimed this property to be his self acquired and separate property and not a purchase on behalf of joint family consisting of his father and other brothers but his father Anandi Choudhary preferred preemption applications bearing Ceiling case Nos. 12/86-87 to 16/86-87 before the Land Re...
