IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.4517 of 2009 RAJ KISHORE SINGH son of Rajnandan Singh resident of village Paimar Ghat, Chairman, Paimar Primary Agricultural Sakh Society, Paimar, Punpun, District Patna. Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. The District Magistrate, Patna. 3. Block Development Officer, Punpun, District Patna. 4. Circle Officer, Punpun, District Patna. 5. Sub-divisional Officer, Masaurhi, Patna. ----------- 5 3/08/2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. Learned counsel for the State has not received any instruction in the matter although opportunity was given for that purpose. From the representations annexed with the writ petition, particularly one before the District Magistrate, Patna by one Shailendra Kumar Singh resident of village Pakri, Post Punpun, it appears that there was a request to the District Magistrate to direct the concerned authorities to remove encroachment from the pyne and bandh of Mouza Pakri. Learned counsel for the State has submitted that such encroachment on the pyne and bandh has led to inconvenience to the people of the area and particularly the residents of Punpun from using the bandh as a road for approaching the National Highway- 83 which connects Patna and Gaya. The various annexures following letter of the District Magistrate to the Sub-divisional Officer, Masaurhi, Patna dated 4.3.2009 (Annexure-8 series) show that some enquiry had been held by the Anchaladhikari, Punpun. The petitioner is not satisfied with such enquiry and according to him no action is being taken against the - 2 - encroachers but only against whom who are complaining against those encroachers. Considering the nature of grievance of the petitioner, this writ application filed by way of public interest litigation is finally disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to file a fresh representation in the matter before the District Magistrate, Patna along with a copy of this order. On receipt of such representation the District Magistrate, Patna shall entrust some responsible officer to submit a report to him and it is expected that in the light of such report desired action in the interest of public shall be taken by the District Magistrate through the concerned officials within a period of four months from the date of filing of the representation.
