by cancelling the jamabandi no- 2231 which is
running in the name of the petitioner’s Mother.
3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that
the Additional Collector, Dharamanga (Respondent No. 4),
Patna High Court CWJC No.19132 of 2021 dt.07-07-2026
illegally initiated Jamabandi Cancellation Case No. 63 of
2020-21 against a dead person, Jagarnath Lal Das, and, by
order dated 03.07.2021, erroneously cancelled Jamabandi No.
5/182. It is submitted that the said order was passed without
jurisdiction and is, therefore, a nullity in the eyes of law. It has
next been submitted that it is a well-settled principle of law that
a Jamabandi standing in the name of a raiyat for more than 90
years cannot be cancelled by the revenue authorities. Such a
Jamabandi can be annulled only by a competent civil court in
duly instituted civil proceedings by way of a title suit.
