No.552 under Khata no.192 of mouza Murli Bharhawa as illegal, arbitrary, void and without jurisdiction, be issued. ii) An appropriate writ, order or direction commanding the respondents 1st party to forebear from taking any step for conversion of public road bearing S.P. No.552 of 2 Khata no.192 of mouza Murli Bharhawa as kabristan/graveyard, be issued.” It has been stated by learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner that the villager made a representation dated 15.09.2011 to the respondent no.7, Anchal Adhikari, Gaunaha, Distt- West Champaran (Annexure-4). When the respondent no.7 did not take any action in the matter, the villager made a public representation to the respondent no.2, District Magistrate, West Champaran at Bettiah by fax on 26.09.2011 but the same is still pending till today. Having heard counsel for the State, it would suffice if a direction is issued to respondent no.2, the District Magistrate, West Champaran at Bettiah to dispose of the representation dated 26.09.2011 filed by the petitioner, if already not disposed of, as expeditiously as possible, after hearing all the parties concerned, in accordance with law. Accordingly, such direction is issued. With the above observation, the writ petition stands disposed of. ASHWINI /- (T. Meena Kumari, J) (Vikash Jain, J)
