The Sub-Divisional Officer, Motihari, East Champaran, Bihar. 4. The Circle Officer, Motihari Sadar, East Champaran, Bihar. 5. The Deputy Collector Land Revenue, Motihari, East Champaran, Bihar. . . . . . Respondents. ---------------------------------- 2/ 09.08.2011 Heard learned counsel for the parties. The petitioner is aggrieved by order dated 13.01.2011 issued by Circle officer, Motihari (Sadar), East Champaran, as contained in Annexure-6, directing the petitioner to remove the alleged encroachment. The petitioner further prays for directing the respondent no.5 to register the Memo of appeal filed by him against the order of the Circle officer and dispose of the same in the light of the order of this Court dated 28.01.2011 passed in C.W.J.C. No.1266 of 2011. The petitioner had earlier moved this Court vide C.W.J.C. No.1266 of 2011 against issuance of show-cause notice in land encroachment proceeding instituted by the Circle Officer. A learned Single Judge of this Court observed that the Circle officer, while disposing of the case would consider all objections raised by the petitioner including the issues of title which cannot be gone into in a summary land encroachment proceeding. A statutory appeal is provided against the order passed by Circle officer, in a land encroachment proceeding. As such the Deputy Collector Land Reforms, East Champaran 2 would get the same registered as an appeal and dispose of the same in accordance with law and direction of this court as contained in Annexure-5. Status quo as of today would be maintained for a period of four months, within which time the appeal should be disposed of. This writ application is, accordingly, disposed of.
