IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.555 of 2010 Virendra Kumar, son of Late Sahdeo Paswan, resident of Village- Malahi Dhandha, P.O.-Bela Tarhari, P.S. Nauwatpur, District-Patna. ……Petitioner. Versus 1. The State of Bihar through the Circle Officer, Nauwatpur, District- Patna. ……Respondent. ------ For the petitioner : Mr. Rajeev Kumar Labh, Advocate. For the State : G.A.I. ----- 02/ 05.08.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. It is quite strange that Encroachment Case No.06/1996-97 is still pending before the Circle Officer, Nauwarpur, District-Patna, although it was filed by petitioner’s father Late Sahdeo Paswan against the private persons who had encroached the said land. Considering the facts and circumstances of this case, the Circle Officer, Nauwarpur (Patna) is directed to dispose of Encroachment Case No.06/1996-97, if not yet disposed of, expeditiously, preferably within two months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this. It may be noted that this court has not considered the merit of the case and the said Circle Officer shall consider the claim of both the parties and decide the same in accordance with law without being prejudiced by this order. With the aforesaid observation/direction, the writ petition stands disposed of. Sunil (S. N. Hussain, J.)
