Nirvikar, GP – XVI --- 2 29/1/2010 In this public interest litigation a prayer has been made for issue of a direction to the District Magistrate, Darbhanga as well as the Anchala Adhikari, Ghanshyampur, District – Darbhanga for removal of unauthorized encroachment. On a perusal of the material brought on the record, it is evident that the District Magistrate has passed an order directing the Anchala Adhikari to remove the encroachment. When a higher official has passed the order it is his duty, sacrosanct one, to see that the order is complied with. The said authority should not lie in slumber. 2 In view of aforesaid, we only direct the District Magistrate, Darbhanga, respondent no.2, to see to it that the order passed by him is carried out in letter and spirit. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. Neyaz/ (Dipak Misra, CJ.) (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
