The Divisional Manager, , Bihar State Forest Development Corporation, Bettiah 4. Forest Ranger Officer, Muzaffarpur …. Respondents ----------- For the Petitioner :Dr. Alok Kumar Sinha, Advocate For the Corporation :Mr. R.K. Shukla, Advocate For the State :Mr. Kundan Kumar, A.C. to S.C.-1 05/ 25.03.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. 2. This writ petition has been filed for a direction to the authorities to pay arrears of rent for the land, which has been taken on rent by the authorities of the Forest Department for establishing a depot. In this connection, it is pointed out that in compliance of the orders of the High Court dated 22.8.2003, Annexure-7 petitioner was paid a sum of Rs. 40,000/- as rent for the land taken on rent for establishing the depot. 3. Counsel for the Corporation has opposed such prayer. He states that after the orders of the High Court dated 22.8.2003, Annexure-7, petitioner was paid Rs. 2 40,000/- towards rent of the land and thereafter instructions were issued to vacate the land. Local officer, including the Ranger in connivance with the petitioner did not vacate the land in favour of the petitioner, petitioner, however, forcibly took possession of the land on 3.8.2005. 4. As there is dispute about the occupation of the land by the authorities of the Forest Department, I am not inclined to proceed with the writ petition, which is disposed of granting liberty to the petitioner to file civil suit for payment of arrears of rent for lands in question .
