Though the land was allotted, the land has been encroached by strangers. Representations were made by the petitioner to get the encroachers evicted. There was no progress in the matter and hence this writ petition is filed. 2. Learned Government Pleader submits that steps have already been taken for evicting the encroachers and that the matter is now pending before the District Collector, who will take appropriate action with the aid of police. 3. Now that the Government also accepts that the land in question is allotted to the petitioner and is under encroachment, what is necessary is that steps should be WPC.27847/10 : 2 : taken by the District Collector to implement that decision, if necessary, availing the assistance of the police. 4. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing that the District Collector will implement the decision to evict the encroachers from the land in question. This shall be done, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of two months from the date of production of a copy of this judgment. 5. If, as stated, the pattayam in respect of the land which is allotted to the petitioner is not issued, it is directed that the petitioner can present a copy of this judgment before the third respondent, who shall take appropriate action in the matter.
