1 D.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION (PIL)NO.6474/2006 All Villages of Village Bhandi Vs. State & Ors. Date of Order :: 02-01-2007 HON'BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SHRI S.N.JHA HON'BLE SHRI JUSTICE GOVIND MATHUR Shri Yuvraj Sonel, for Shri D.L.Mothsra, for the petitioners. This writ petition has been filed purportedly on behalf of the residents of village Bhadi of Bhadra Tehsil of Hanumangarh District making grievance of encroachment of Gochar land. Our attention was drawn to a communication of the State Government dated 19.11.2005 directing the District Forest Officer, Hanumangarh to remove encroachments. It appears that the direction was issued on representation of the Sarpanch of Bhadi Gram Panchayat. The grievance of the petitioners is that despite the aforesaid direction of the State Government, nothing has been done in the matter. We are of the view that the petitioners should approach the concerned authority, namely, the District Forest Officer, Hanumangarh, and if they find that the District Forest Officer is not responding in the matter, approach higher authorities of the Forest Department. The 2 petitioners therefore, may make representation in respect of the grievance before the concerned authorities of the Forest Department. It is expected that the matter will be looked into and the needful will be done in accordance with law at the earliest. With the above observations, the petition is disposed of. [GOVIND MATHUR],J.
