For the State: Mr. Shaishav Kumar, AC to GP 2. ------ 02. 10.08.2009 From the perusal of the stand taken by the respondent State in the counter affidavit some of the basic grievance made by the petitioners is that their raiyati land has been encroached upon to construct a school what is known as Rajkiya Uccha Madhyamik Vidyalaya, I.B.Road. Learned Senior counsel representing the petitioners submits that since the school has already been constructed, he will not push the matter to the extent of its removal but he wants direction for payment of compensation for the area which has been encroached. According to the stand in the counter affidavit it is about 0.76 decimals which has been encroached by the school but these are matters for actual verification. In view of the admitted position the writ application is disposed of with direction upon the District Magistrate, Munger that he shall get the matter enquired and take steps in accordance with the procedure laid down in this regard to pay compensation for the land taken over for construction of the school in question, preferably within a period of one year form the date of communication/ receipt of a copy of this order. Let it be recorded that respondent State will expedite the - 2 - matter and will see that the petitioners do not have to wait till eternity for payment. rkp (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J)
