6. A letter bearing no.159 dated 19.1.2016 was sent by the Circle Officer, Akbarpur to the Sub-Registrar, Rajauli. Enclosed with the said letter was a list of plots belonging to the Government in the revenue village under Circle Akbarpur. The list contained the land of the respondent measuring an area of 1.01 acres (in R.S. Plot no.782) and 1.22 acres (in R.S. Plot no.806), both in R.S. Khata no.279.

7.

Later, pursuant to the order passed in Mutation Case no.555-R- 27/2018-19, the name of the respondent was mutated with respect to the land in question. Subsequently on order dated 24.11.2020 being passed by the D.C.L.R., Rajauli in Mutation Appeal no.28 of 2019-20, the order of the Circle Officer was set Patna High Court C. REV. No.115 of 2024 dt.11-04-2025 aside, however on a revision having been preferred, pursuant an order dated 10.8.2021 passed in Mutation Revision Case no.21/2020-21, the Additional Collector, Nawada was pleased to set aside the order passed by the D.C.L.R, Rajauli, thus restoring the order of mutation passed in favour of the respondent by the Circle Officer, Akbarpur. On the case being remanded, the D.C.L.R., Rajauli closed the matter holding that in view of the pendency of the title suit, it would not be proper to pass any orders in the said case.

8.

14. Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused Patna High Court C. REV. No.115 of 2024 dt.11-04-2025 the material on record. Having perused the contents of the order dated 28.6.2023, review of which is sought together with the grounds raised in the instant review application, it would transpire that what the petitioners are primarily relying upon are the contents of an enquiry report, enquiry of which was conducted subsequent to the passing of the judgment under review. At the same time, it is not in dispute that in the Title Suit no.202 of 2013 filed by the respondent's vendor both the State of Bihar as also the heirs of the Avaidh Dakhalkar were parties and the suit was decreed in favour of the respondent's vendor. Further, it is also not in dispute that the Circle Officer, Akbarpur passed order for mutation of the respondent's name in the mutation case.
