Petitioner Versus 1. The State of Bihar. 2. District Magistrate, East Champaran (Motihari). 3. Sub Divisional Officer, Sadar, East Champaran (Motihari). 4. Block Development Officer, Turkolia, East Champaran (Motihari). 5. Circle Officer, Turkolia, East Champaran (Motihari). …. …. Respondents ----------- For the Petitioner : Mr. Shambhu Nath, Advocate For the State : Mr. Mani Kant Mishra, G.P.21 ------------ 2. 20.5.2010. Heard Mr. Shambhu Nath, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. Mani Kant Mishra, learned counsel for the State. The singular grievance in this writ petition is that encroachments have taken place on government land and no efforts are being made by the State Government. Regard being had to the assertions made, we are only inclined to observe if there are encroachments on the government land it is open to the petitioner to submit a representation to the concerned Circle Officer who shall take appropriate action under the Bihar Public Land Encroachment - 2 - Act. An expeditious action in this regard would be well advised. We may hasten to clarify, we have not expressed any opinion on the merits of the allegations that has been made in the writ petition. With the aforesaid observation and direction the writ petition stands disposed of. Pawan/- (Dipak Misra, CJ) (Mihir Kumar Jha, J)
