RESPONDENTS 2ND SET ----------- 2. 17.3.2009 The reason why the petitioner has filed the writ application is because the private respondents are creating impediment on the land purchased in the name of the present petitioner’s wife. He has moved various authorities to take cognizance of the matter, but there has been no response on the issue. With the sole object of getting the matter sorted out the Circle Officer of Barahat in the district of Banka has been approached for carrying out a - 2 - measurement of the plot of land under dispute and in this regard a fee of Rs.400/- has already been deposited on 15.7.2008, but till date no effort has been made by the Circle Officer to get the land of the petitioner measured and demarcated. With this limited issue, the court opines that the matter should be sorted out at the local level and in this regard a direction is issued to the Circle Officer, Barahat, Respondent no. 9 that he shall take steps for getting the land in question measured and demarcated, so that the enjoyment and claim of the petitioner with regard to the right over the land can be settled at the earliest. The writ application is disposed of with a direction that the measurement shall be carried out within a period of three months from the date of communication/ production of a copy of this order.
