IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.10166 of 2011 Hare Krishna Ghosh & Ors Versus The State Of Bihar & Ors For the Petitioner : M/s Sanjeev Kumar Mishra Amal Kumar Sinha For Respondent no.4 : Mr. Mukul Prasad, Advocate 2 11.8.2011 The petitioner had earlier moved this court in C.W.J.C. No.9421 of 2010 against the order directing him to vacate the land in question. The petitioner claims that the Circle Officer recommended for settlement of land in his favour which fact was not considered while issuing aforesaid direction. Learned Single Judge by order dated 15.6.2010 directed the authorities to pass appropriate order afresh after considering the recommendation of the Circle Officer for settlement of land in favour of the petitioner. The petitioner submits that after enactment of Bihar Panchayat Raj Act, 2006 certain properties have been vested in the Municipality/Nagar Panchayat. The petitioner submits that again impugned notice dated 23.5.2011 has been issued to vacate the premises in question as would be evident from Annexure-6. The notice relates to Plot No.4347, Khata No.948, Thana No.17 of village Kanakpur under Block Thakurganj. Learned State counsel submits that it would appear from the order dated 1.12.1999 passed in Case No.2/99-2000 that the settlement was temporary in nature. Having heard counsel for the petitioner and the 2 KHAN State, I find that there is provision of appeal against the order of Executive Officer, Nagar Panchayat, Thakurganj. The petitioner, if so advised, may approach the Commissioner, Kishangaj in appeal. Status quo, as existing today, shall be maintained for two weeks in order to enable the petitioner to prefer an appeal. With the aforesaid observations and directions, this writ petition stands disposed of. (S.P. Singh,J)
