SAKARI DISTT.- MADHUBANI . … Respondents ----- For the petitioner : Mr. Narendra Nath Mishra, Adv. For the respondent : Mrs Nivedita Nirvikar, ( G. P. No. XVI) ----------- 4. 19.04.2010 The present writ petition was filed contending, inter alia, that though the District Magistrate, Madhubani was directed to remove the encroachment in a spate of litigations, yet no steps have been taken to execute the same. Because of the aforesaid averments, this Court had directed the District Magistrate, Madhubani to file the counter affidavit indicating, inter alia, what steps have been taken to remove the encroachment. Despite the time given, the District Magistrate, Madhubani chose not to file the counter affidavit. Therefore, personal presence of the 2 District Magistrate was directed. A counter affidavit has been filed today by Mr. Pankaj Kumar that certain encroachments have been removed and some are not yet removed as there have been interim orders of restraint from many a judicial forum. In view of the aforesaid, we are only inclined to direct that the District Magistrate, Madhubani shall take appropriate steps to remove the encroachment in respect of which he has issued direction unless there has been any kind of interdiction by any court of law. With the aforesaid direction, the writ petition stands disposed of without any order as to costs. Kanchan (Dipak Misra, CJ.) (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
