IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.16142 of 2011 1.

The Sadar S.D.O., Dharbhanga, District- Dharbhanga 4. The Anchal Adhikari, Keoti Block, P.S.- Keoti, District- Dharbhanga ---------------------------------- 2 08.11.2011. Petitioners pray for quashing notices bearing no. 21/2011-12 dated 2.8.2011 as well as notice dated 13.8.2011, issued by the Circle officer, Keoti, respondent no.4, contained in annexures 3 and 4, whereby they have been asked to remove encroachment from the land of Rajkiya Madhya Vidayalaya, Mehasajan Gaththulli and Kasturba Gandhi School, situated at Mauza Lalganj, Thana No. 389, Khesra Nos. 4257 and 4258. Petitioners submit that they have not encroached upon school. They have made their houses along with many others on the aforesaid plots. Pursuant to the notice, they have already filed a show cause reply as contianed in annexure 6. Mr. Satish Kumar Singh learned Assistant counsel to AAG II submits that it would appear from the 2 reply of the petitioners itself that they and others have made construction on public land. In my view, the writ petition is pre mature as the Circle officer, Keoti has yet not disposed of the representation filed by the petitioners. The Circle officer is directed to dispose of the representation of the petitioners by a speaking order within six weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. It will be open for the petitioners to make a prayer before the Circle officer, Keoti for grant of interim protection. Let this order be faxed to the Collector, Darbhanga for its communication to the Circle officer, Keoti at the cost of the petitioners. Shashi. (Samarendra Pratap Singh, J.)
