The petitioner's grievance is that the Comunidade land has been occupied by encroachers and no action is being taken by the respondents. However, Mr. Rivonkar points out from the affidavit-in-reply that inquiry pertaining to the proposal for regularisation of illegal encroachments, is pending before the Collector, North Goa. Those cases will be decided in accordance with law. The learned Counsel for the respondents further states that removal will be ordered, if the persons are found not entitled to any regularisation. 2. Mr. Kansar, learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that there 3 is wide scale illegality in a number of plots which have been regularised by the respondents. According to the learned Counsel, the Comunidade has allotted only about 48 plots, but the Government has approved a much larger number of plots, which the learned Counsel does not know for certain. It is not possible to go into this grievance in this petition. The petitioner is at liberty to file an appropriate petition, challenging the allotments, if so advised. The petition dismissed. Rule discharged. S.A. BOBDE, J. N.A. BRITTO, J. ssm.
