Mandal --- Dated, the 19th November, 2008 It appears from perusal of the material that on 1st November, 2006, an application for removal of encroachment on public road (Khesra no.10603) situate at village Ekwari was made before the Circle Officer, Sahar, Bhojpur. The encroachment case was registered being Encroachment Case no.16/2006-2007. It further transpires that during the course of inquiry in the said encroachment case, the Anchal Amin has found encroachment on the subject public road. Notice came to be issued to the encroachers who showed their cause but the cause shown by them has not been found satisfactory. The Circle Officer, Sahar, Bhojpur is said to have directed the encroachers to remove encroachment but it is stated that the encroachment has so far not been removed in its 2 entirety and, therefore, by means of this writ petition , the petitioner has prayed that Circle Officer, Sahar, Bhojpur be directed to remove the encroachment on the subject public road. 2. In our opinion, it is not necessary to issue any direction as the proceedings are already pending before the Circle Officer, Sahar, Bhojpur for removal of encroachment on the subject land and the Circle Officer, Sahar, Bhojpure has already directed the encroachers to remove the encroachment. Obviously, the said proceedings shall be taken to its logical conclusion. 3. Writ petition is disposed of, accordingly. R. M. Lodha, CJ. Kishore K. Mandal, J. Neyaz/-
