    Summary The Jharkhand High Court dismissed the writ petition challenging the cancellation of Jamabandi (land record) of the petitioners. The court held that while Jamabandi is administrative in nature, it can be validly cancelled where it was created without proper authority, jurisdiction, or through fraud or collusion. Since the Land Reforms Deputy Collector found the petitioners' Jamabandi was fraudulently created with incorrect Khata/Khewat numbers and unregistered case records, the cancellation order was legally justified and did not warrant judicial interference. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
