The Superintendent of Police, Madhubani. --------------- 2. 18.3.2009 Learned counsel for the petitioner is permitted to implead the Superintendent of Police of the district of Madhubani as respondent no.10, who is represented by learned Standing Counsel No.5. Heard Mr. Hriday Narayan Harshit for the petitioner, and Mr. Anwar Karim, learned Assistant Counsel to Standing Counsel No.5 for respondent nos. 1 to 6 and 10. The petitioner seeks a direction to respondent authorities for Government protection. The official respondents have placed on record their counter affidavit. We have perused the materials on record and considered the submissions of learned counsel for the parties. It appears that the Jalkar situate in Kheshra No. 3226, covering area of 1.70 acres, at Village Kishnipatti, Ghoghardiha, district Madhubani, has been settled in favour of the petitioner with fishing rights. The settlement has been made for the period 2006-2007 to 2010-2011 , and respondent 2 authorities have made over possession of the Jalkar to the petitioner which he is exploiting. It further appears that some of the anti-social elements of the area, some of whom are impleaded as respondent nos. 7 to 9, are creating problems for the petitioner and intend to interfere with his peaceful possession of the Jalkar. In that view of the matter, let the petitioner file an appropriate application before respondent no.10 (Superintendent of Police, Madhubani) who shall ensure adequate protection to the petitioner. The writ petition is disposed of. Vinay/ ( S. K. Katriar ,J. )
