IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.4198 of 2001 SUKHDEO PRASAD MAHTO Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 10 23/1/2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State. On the own showing of the petitioner this writ application primarily is against the show cause notice issued under section 3 of the Bihar Public Land Encroachment Act. This Court would find that a writ application against the show cause notice is not maintainable, in as much as, the petitioner has adequate alternative remedy of first ventilating his grievance by filing his show-cause before the authority and in case his show cause was not accepted and any order for removal of encroachment is passed under the Act the petitioner still have remedy to go in appeal before the Collector of the district. That being so, counsel for the petitioner seeks permission to withdraw this application in order to avail the statutory alternative remedy. 2 This application is permitted to be withdrawn with the only aforementioned liberty.
