Petitioner wants the district authorities to take suitable steps to ensure that 75 decimals of land belonging to Government Middle School, Amahi Banke under Gram Panchayat Raj Baikunthpur, Anchal Kateya, district Gopalganj is not encroached by several unscrupulous persons who are allegedly obtaining illegal settlement purchas from the local Bhoodan office. Learned counsel for the State has pointed out on the basis of Annexure-22 that the Circle Officer, Kateya 3 had issued notice to those persons on 5.6.2007 against their acts of encroachment over lands belonging to the school. Considering the issue raised in this writ petition, we dispose of the writ petition by directing that if the petitioner is interested in the matter, he should file a fresh representation along with a copy of this order before the District Magistrate, Gopalganj, respondent no.6, who will entrust suitable officials to ensure that illegal encroachment if made upon the land of the school, is removed in accordance with law without any delay, preferably within four months. If there is any further grievance of the petitioner against Bhoodan authorities then he may pursue the same by filing appropriate representation before concerned authorities.
