IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.2954 of 2011 ANJANI KUMAR VERMA . Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS . ----------- 2. 28.02.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner is aggrieved by the construction of a crematorium over his private lands. It is submitted that earlier a wrong entry in the Khatian was made in the name of State of Bihar notwithstanding that the petitioner through his ancestors has been in long continued possession. On a representation filed for correction, the correction was made in Jamabandi Correction Case No. 51 of 1972-73. Notwithstanding the same and the representation filed by the petitioner before the District Magistrate and to the Superintendent of Police, Sheohar, the construction continues unabated leaving the petitioner with no option but to approach this Court. Perhaps a little prudence on part of the District Magistrate and the Superintendent of Police may have prevented this litigation, left the citizen satisfied and also permitted lawful construction or prevented wastage of public money by unauthorized construction. 2 Let the District Magistrate, Sheohar dispose off the representation of the petitioner within a maximum period of four weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The District Magistrate shall be obliged to grant a personal hearing to the petitioner consider his documents and then pass a reasoned and speaking order. Any construction in the meantime shall be at the risk and responsibility of the officials of the State who shall be held personally accountable for the expenses incurred on the construction should the petitioner ultimately succeed. The District Magistrate shall also keep in mind that complicated questions of title cannot be decided in a summary proceeding and such benefit shall not ensue in favour of the State to maintain the construction. The writ application stands disposed. P. Kumar ( Navin Sinha, J.)
