Respondents. ---------------------------------- 2/ 16.11.2011 In the instant writ application, the petitioner seeks direction to the respondent authorities to initiate encroachment proceeding against respondent no.8, who is alleged to have encroached the public road bearing plot no.4369 (old), 5477 (new) in village Raj Rewarha, P.S. Jalley, District Darbhanga. It appears that on complaint of petitioner, the Circle Officer, Jalley has got the land measured and has issued notice to respondent no.8 to appear and put his case before the date fixed in the case as 04.12.2010. The petitioner without waiting for the decision in the matter before the Circle Officer, Jalley has moved this Court in writ jurisdiction. This writ application is premature. The Circle Officer, Jalley would proceed in the matter in accordance with the provisions of Land Encroachment Act. With the aforesaid observation, this writ application is disposed of.
