IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.2344 of 2009 MOHAMMAD SAHID ANSARI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2 19/2/2009 Heard Mr. K.K.Tiwary, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner and counsel for the State. On the own showing of the petitioner the final order dated 31.12.2008 has already been passed for removal of the encroachment under section 6 of Bihar Public Land Encroachment Act. Such order is definitely an appealable one in terms of section 11 of the said Act. That being so, the explanation of the petitioner in paragraph 10 of the writ application that the petitioner had already filed an appeal but the same was not entertained by the Collector of the district, does not seem to be correct in as much as the petitioner has not annexed even a copy of the order dated 31.12.2008, much less the memo of such appeal. Be that as it may, this Court would allow the petitioner to withdraw this application in order to enable him to file an appeal before the Collector of the 2 district within a period of fifteen days from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The Collector of the district would thereafter ensure that the appeal filed by the petitioner is heard and disposed of expeditiously preferably within a period of three months. This would dispose of this application. (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.) Abhay Kumar
