IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.8146 of 2011 Jagannath Mishra & Ors Versus The State Of Bihar & Ors ---------------------------------- 7. 12.12.2011. The petitioners pray for quashing notice dated 18.4.2011 issued by respondent no.7 in connection with Encroachment case no. 02/2007-08 directing them to remove their residential houses within a week in view of grounds mentioned therein. The petitioners submits that the notice in question has been passed in the midst of the proceeding under Bihar Public Land Encroachment Act and without passing final order under section 6 of the said Act. The petitioners further submit that facts and issues are almost similar as in C.W.J.C.No. 9349/2011, disposed of on 30.8.2011. Learned counsel for the State submits that the proceeding was already initiated in the year 2007- 08 and notice was given to the petitioners to file all the required documents and thereafter Annexure 11 was passed. In my view, let Annexure 11 be treated as final order. The petitioners would be at liberty to file an 2 appeal before the Collector, East Champaran who would dispose of the appeal after giving opportunity of hearing to all the sides. The parties would be at liberty to file their documents. It will be open for the petitioners to make a prayer for stay. The petitioners must file their appeal within four weeks. No coercive steps would be taken against them for four weeks. The writ petition stands disposed of. Shashi. (Samarendra Pratap Singh, J.)
