IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.1787 of 2009 BABU SAHEB JHA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2 5/2/2009 The claim of the petitioner that certain construction of road is going to be made on his raiyati land, as a matter of fact, would require first a determination as to whether the land in question is his land or public land. There being absolutely no material in the writ application as with regard to nature of land of plot nos. 900 and 903, the petitioner would be well advised to approach the Circle Officer, Ghanshyampur block, respondent no.4, who after verifying the claim of the petitioner will decide the issue of the land in question being public land or otherwise, in a proceeding under Bihar Public Land Encroachment Act. With the aforesaid observation and direction this application is disposed of. (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.) Abhay Kumar
