Respondent/s ====================================================== Appearance : For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Binod Kumar Mr. Mallika Mazumdar Mr. Sanat Kumar Mishra For the Respondent/s : Mr. (Gp1) ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE SAMARENDRA PRATAP SINGH ORAL ORDER 3 28-08-2012 Learned counsel for the petitioners is permitted to implead Patna High Court CWJC No.9551 of 2010 (3) dt.28-08-2012 2 the Collector, Darbhanga as party respondent no.13. Heard counsel for the petitioners and the State. The petitioners are aggrieved by order dated 24.2.2009 passed by the Anchal Adhikari, Jale whereby he has directed the Officer-Incharge, Jale to get the land vacated from encroachment appertaining to Khata No.1419, Plot Nos.12219, 19295, 19296 and 19297 situated in Village Jale. It appears that the petitioners instead of approaching the Collector, Darbhanga moved this court directly against the order of the Circle Officer. In my view, the petitioners should have approached the Collector, Darbhanga for redressal of their grievances. In case the petitioners’ approach the Collector, Darbhanga by filing an appeal/petition, the same would be disposed of on its own merit. The Collector would condone the delay in filing such petition as the petitioners were pursuing their remedy before this court. Status quo as of today would continue in order to enable the petitioners to approach the learned Court, Darbhanga. With the aforesaid observations and directions, this writ application stands disposed of. KHAN/- (Samarendra Pratap Singh, J)
