The writ petition has been filed for a direction to the authorities to remove the encroachments made by private persons upon the Gair Aam and Gair Majarua lands which pertain to Khata nos.424 and 425 and Khesra No.737/1, 737/2 and 1800/1 in village Blua, P.S.Paharpur, District-East Champaran. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that initially a proceeding under the Bihar Public Land Encroachment Act, 1956 was initiated but later on dropped on the ground that the encroachments had been removed. When it was found that the same had actually not been removed, a fresh proceeding was initiated before the Anchal Adhikari, Paharpur, Motihari (East Champaran) bearing Encroachment Case No.1/2001-02. But till 2 date, according to him, the encroachments have not been removed. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the writ petition stands disposed off with a direction to the Sub Divisional Magistrate, Sadar, Motihari as well as the Anchal Adhikari, Paharpur Block, East Champaran to look into the matter and ensure that the encroachments, as alleged, from the lands in question are removed and the proceedings taken to their logical conclusion.
