IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.15539 of 2010 UDAY PRATAP NARAYAN SINGH . Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS . ----------- 2. 10.12.2010 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Counsel for the State. The petitioner seeks a mandamus commanding the respondents to comply the directions dated 24.4.2010 of the Additional Collector, Sheohar bearing memo no. 240 and letter no. 95 respectively as also the letter no. 259 dated 7.5.2010 of the Sub Divisional Officer, Sheohar for removal of encroachment. Without going into merits of the matter, if the issues concern encroachment of public lands and as the petitioner contends, the matter has already engaged the attention of the authorities, the issues at this stage are purely administrative in nature to be dealt with by the District Magistrate. There is no occasion for the Court to consider issues under Article 226 of the Constitution at this stage. It is made clear that this Court has not gone into merits of the matter which remains to be decided by the District Magistrate who is then required to act in accordance with law and dispose the matter within a maximum period of three months from the date of receipt and/or presentation of a copy of this order. The writ application stands disposed. Snkumar/- (Navin Sinha,J.)
