Mr.O.P.Boob, Addl.Government counsel for the respondents. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and also learned counsel for the State. Under the garb of PIL application, virtually a prayer has been made to restrain the private respondents vis-a-vis the State authorities from regularizing the settlements by the side of a village tank. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that some of the villagers have encroached upon the catchment area of the tank and their encroachments are being regularized by the State authorities by settling the same in their favour. In case any settlement is made by the State authorities de-hors the provisions of the law particularly in the catchment area of the tank, the petitioner will be at liberty to move the authorities under the provisions of the Land Revenue Act itself for annulment of such settlement in favour of unauthorized persons, but in no manner this application should be treated as PIL application. This application accordingly is dismissed. (Sangeet Lodha)J. (Narayan Roy)CJ Parmar
