Choudhury, learned Sr. counsel representing the Respondents No.6 to 15. I have also heard Ms R. Chakraborty, learned Addl. Sr. Govt. Advocate. This writ petition has been filed for settlement of ’Baghbar Hat’ in the district of Barpeta in terms of the provisions of Section 105/106 of the Assam Panchayat Act, 1994 for the year 2010-2011. There is a dispute as to the status of the land. While it is the contention of the petitioner that the market in q uestion is in the land of Panchayat area and required to be settled as per the p rovisions of the said Act, but it is the contention of the private respondents t hat since the market is in a private land of the Respondents No.6 to 15, it cann ot be settled applying the provisions of the said Act. Since the issue involved is a disputed question of fact, it will have to be adjudicated upon by the fact finding authority. Accordingly and as agreed t o by the learned counsel for the parties, this writ petition is disposed of dire cting the Respondent No.1 to resolve the issue upon hearing the parties and coll ecting the reports from the concerned authorities including the Deputy Commissio ner, Barpeta. Let the issue be resolved as expeditiously as possible, preferably within 30th September 2010.
