THE SUB-DIVISIONAL POLICE OFFICER, BIRAUL, DISTT.- DARBHANGA 6. THE CIRCLE OFFICER, BIRAUL, DISTT.- DARBHANGA 7. THE OFFICER-INCHARGE, POLICE STATION BIRAUL, DISTT.- DARBHANGA ----------- 02. 04.01.2011 If the petitioner is aggrieved by any encroachment of a public road his remedy lies in filing of an appropriate writ application under the Bihar Public Lands Encroachment Act. Needless to state that the disposal of this application on ground of the alternative remedy available shall keep the statutory authority bound by the duty to decide any such application in accordance with law. The objection on behalf of the State that the writ petition is suggestive for removals of encroachment from raiyati land are matters which can be more appropriately examined before the statutory authority. The application stands disposed. P.K ( Navin Sinha, J.)
