The Circle Officer, Danapur, Patna Respondents ----------- 2 02.03.2009 Heard Mr Krishna Bihari learned counsel for the petitioner, and learned Assistant counsel to learned Government Pleader no.8 for the respondents. This writ petition is directed against the order dated 10.4.2007, passed by the learned Sub-Divisional Officer, Danapur, whereby it has been directed that the steps for removal of encroachment of the land in question at the instance of the petitioner be taken. It is with respect to Khesra no. 825, Khata no. 67, area 4 decimal, situate in Mouza Rakanpura, Thana no.18, within the limits of the Patna Municipal Corporation. The respondents have placed on record their counter affidavit and have supported the impugned order. We have perused the materials on record and considered the submissions of the learned counsel for the parties. It appears that the petitioner had filed an application for settlement of land in her favour. The matter was examined. However, final order was not passed in favour of the petitioner, notwithstanding which she put her construction on the same leading to the impugned order. It is stated in the impugned order that lands within the limits of Patna Municipal Corporation can not be settled. It is obviously a case of encroachment. Steps, have therefore, been taken for removal of encroachment. The - 2 - impugned order can not be faulted. The writ petition is dismissed. shahid (S.K.Katriar, J)
