'State Acting Autocratically,' Patna High Court Deprecates Cancelling of Longstanding Land Records In Summary Proceedings

'State Acting Autocratically,' Patna High Court Deprecates Cancelling of Longstanding Land Records In Summary Proceedings 'State Acting Autocratically,' Patna High Court Deprecates Cancelling of Longstanding Land Records In Summary Proceedings High Court has said the only remedy with the State is to go before a competent Civil Court and any action taken apart from the same would be treated as contemptuous. The Patna High Court recently deprecated the State's 'autocratical' actions wherein it cancelled longstanding land records by way of summary proceedings. A single judge bench of Justice Sourendra Pandey held that the authorities had exceeded their jurisdiction and acted beyond the same. An aggrieved party approached the High Court against the State of Bihar decision to stop issuing rent receipts in his favour. Court was told that earlier the two brothers of the petitioner had approached the Court and it had very categorically held that the land had a longstanding jamabandi and which was permitted by the State to continue for so long, and thereafter, in the said case, a notice under Section 3(H) was issued, which was set aside and the Court had categorically held that the only option which was with the State of Bihar was to approach a Civil Court of competent jurisdiction to decide the issue. Court was further told that overreaching the previous order passed by the high Court and to bypass the said observations made therein, the State of Bihar designed a separate approach and stopped issuing rent receipts in favour of the petitioner, who happens to be the brother of the earlier two petitioners. It was further submitted that the respondent authorities did not stop there and in fact, during the pendency of the writ application, the Circle Officer had the audacity to recommend for cancellation of jamabandi of the petitioner and the Additional Collector had gone ahead and has initiated a…

Pulikali funds blocked over non-compliance with Centre’s conditions: BJP Thrissur city district president

Pulikali funds blocked over non-compliance with Centre’s conditions: BJP Thrissur city district president The release of Central financial assistance for Pulikali has been blocked due to failure to comply with conditions laid down by the Union Tourism Ministry, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) BJP Thrissur city district president Justin Jacob has alleged. He said on Wednesday that the Centre had sanctioned ₹24 lakh as assistance for eight Pulikali teams — ₹3 lakh each — out of the ₹40 lakh sought by the State government for organising the 2025 festival. However, the aid was to be disbursed on a reimbursement basis, subject to strict compliance with guidelines issued by the Ministry. Jacob, these included displaying the logos of the Tourism Ministry and ‘Incredible India’ on all publicity materials, acknowledging Central support, screening promotional videos of the Tourism Ministry, preparing event documentation videos, mentioning the Ministry’s assistance during inaugural and concluding ceremonies, and coordinating social media campaigns with the Ministry. He alleged that the district tourism authorities failed to communicate these conditions to the Pulikali teams in advance. “The guidelines were brought to their notice only after the event was completed and documents were submitted,” he said. Jacob also accused the then district administration and Tourism department officials of failing to properly implement the directives contained in the official communication from the Centre. He charged in a press release that the State government’s inefficiency and the Tourism department’s negligence had resulted in the Pulikali teams losing out on eligible Central funds.
