K. M. Kamrul Kader, J :

On an application under Article 102 of the Constitution of the

People’s Republic of Bangladesh this Rule Nisi was issued on 11.04.2018, in the following terms:

“Let a Rule Nisi be issued calling upon the respondent Nos.1-34 to show cause as to why the impugned judgment and decree dated 18.02.2018 (decree signed on 25.02.2018) passed by the learned Judge of the Land Survey Tribunal (Joint District and Sessions Judge), Pabna in Land Survey Tribunal Case No.1283 of 2013 (Annexure-B and B-1 respectively) should not be declared to have been passed without lawful authority and is of no legal effect and/or such other or further order or orders pass as to this Court may seem fit and proper.”


1

This Rule Nisi was issued on the ground that the Government has not yet been established any Land Survey Appellate Tribunal under Section 145B of the SAT Act. Due to this reason, the petitioner has failed to redress his grievance by filing appeal against the order, judgment and decree passed by the concerned Tribunal.

Mr. Sk. Shaifuzzaman, learned Deputy Attorney General submits that the government has already been published Gazette for establishing Land Survey Appellate Tribunal in different district and the petitioner of the writ petition may redress his/her grievance by filing appeal, before the respective Land Survey Appellate Tribunal of the respective districts and as such, he prays for discharging the Rule.

It appears that in the meantime the Government has already established the Land Survey Appellate Tribunal in the respective districts vide Gazette notification dated 11.07.2023 to hear the appeal arising out of judgment and decree and/or order of the Land Survey Tribunal in different districts. Considering the facts and circumstances of the matter, we are of the view that the petitioner may redress his grievance by filing appeal, before the Land Survey Appellate Tribunal, Pabna  and as such, the Rule issued by this Court has became infructuous.

 In the result, the Rule is discharged without any order as to costs. The Petitioner is at liberty to prefer appeal, if any, before the Land Survey Appellate Tribunal and in preferring such appeal delay occurred, if any, shall be condoned. 

 In the meantime, the order of status quo granted at the time of issuance of the Rule shall continue till filling of the appeal before the Land Survey Appellate Tribunal or 03(three) months from the date of receipt of this order, whichever is earlier.

Communicate the judgment and order at once.

Khizir Hayat, J:

I agree.
