It is submitted by Mr. Ashutosh Jha, learned 2 counsel for the petitioner that the land belongs to the villagers and the State Government has no semblance of right. It is urged by him, this is a forceful act of the State Government to destroy the right, title and interest of the petitioner. In view of aforesaid, we are only inclined to state that it is open to the petitioner to approach the Civil Court for establishment of the right, title and interest in accordance with law and seek an injunction that the functionaries of the State cannot construct a Police Station without acquiring the land. We may hasten to clarify, though we have said so, we have not expressed any opinion on the merits of the case. With the aforesaid observation the writ petition stands disposed of. (Dipak Misra, C.J.)
