    The Jharkhand High Court dismissed Gopal Mandal's Letters Patent Appeal challenging a Single Judge's order that a Circle Officer cannot grant survey and demarcation relief, as such officers are service providers rather than adjudicators. The Court upheld the lower order as consistent with established precedent but permitted Mandal to pursue his land rights claims in Civil Court. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
