J. H. Majumdar, the petitioners inherited his property. Pertaining to their land measuring 2 Kathas 15 Chataks of Dag Nos. 14 & 15, Patta Nos. 10 & 11 at Village -Kanakpur Part-I, Porgona - Barakpur, District-Cachar within the jurisdiction of Silchar Municipal Board, the petitioners on 04.06.2020 with Sri Sandip Paul and Smt. Sukalpita Acharjee jointly submitted an application before the Deputy Commissioner, Cachar Silchar seeking 'No Objection Certificate' relating to permission for sale of their aforesaid land in favour of said Sri Sandip Paul and Smt. Sukalpita Acharjee.
The Executive Officer, Silchar Municipal Board by its letter No. MP/BP/V/06/ 2020-21/4351- 4353 dated 10.12.2020 in Case No. 178/020 informed the Deputy Commissioner, Cachar, Silchar as well as the petitioners that as a proceeding with regard to their said land being I.A. (Civil) No. 3989/2018 in Civil Rev. P. No. 180/2018 (Smt. Unisha Roy Vs. Tamanna Begum Mazumdar and 4 Ors.) are pending before this Court, therefore, the 'No Objection Certificate' relating to the sale/transfer of the aforesaid land sought for by the petitioners cannot be granted.
During the deliberation of the matter, Mr. Choudhury, learned counsel for the petitioners has placed before the Court that a decree of eviction of the defendant, namely Mrs. Unisha Roy in Title Suit Case No. 34/2011 (Hazi Md. Jahurul Hoque Mazumdar Vs. Mrs. Unisha Roy) dated 27.01.2016 was passed by the learned Munsiff No.1 at Cachar, Silchar. Against the same, said Mrs. Unisha Roy preferred an appeal before the Civil Judge No.1, Cachar, Silchar being Title Appeal No. 10/16, which was also dismissed on 26.04.2017. Thereafter, said Mrs. Unisha Roy preferred a civil revision petition against the judgment dated 26.04.2017 passed in said Title Appeal No. 10/2016, before this Court being CRP No. 180/2018 with I.A. (Civil) No. 3989/2018.
However, Mr. Choudhury, learned counsel for the petitioners stated that there is no stay order in force either in said I.A. (Civil) No. 3989/2018 or in CRP No. 180/2018.
Mr. Choudhury, learned counsel for the petitioners also placed before the Court that the decree of eviction so passed in said Title Suit Case No. 34/2011 has already been executed and possession of the land in question has already handed over to the decree holders, i.e., the petitioners herein. The petitioners have placed the copy of the order dated 29.10.2021 passed in said CRP No. 180/2018.
On 02.03.2022, the respondent Silchar Municipal Board submitted its affidavit in the Page No.# 4/4
matter clarifying that the petitioners though had applied for 'No Objection Certificate' for transfer of the said land by depositing only the processing fees but they are yet to deposit the required fees. With regard to the said objection filed by one Smt. Unisha Roy on 11.11.2019 against the petitioners relating to said schedule of land, the application of the petitioners for granting them 'No Objection Certificate' relating to the said land have been kept in abeyance and the proceeding on the matter of such objection raised by Smt. Unisha Roy relating to said land has already been initiated since the land in question has already in possession of the petitioners in terms of the execution of decree in T.S. Case No. 34/2011 dated 27.01.2016.
Considering the above, it is directed that the respondents in the Silchar Municipal Board shall dispose of the matter with regard to issuance of 'No Objection Certificate' relating to sale of the aforesaid land of the petitioners to Sri Sandip Paul and Smt. Sukalpita Acharjee after giving an opportunity of hearing to both the petitioners as well as said Ms. Unisha Roy, within a period of 45 days from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order along with the application to be filed by the petitioners, obtaining necessary acknowledgment from the said authority, subject to the payment of necessary process fee and any other fees that are payable by the petitioners in that regard.
The respondent Municipal Board shall accordingly decide the matter in accordance with law and shall pass necessary order(s) relating to such 'No Objection Certificate' applied by the petitioners, if there is no other impediment in issuing the same.
With the above direction, this writ petition stands disposed of.
