Petitioner is aggrieved by inordinate delay caused by Anchal Adhikari, Daudnagar in not taking final decision and action in Encroachment Case no. 05/07-08 which is said to be pending since about two years. Since villagers have raised a grievance that a Gairmazarua Aam land over which a place of worship has been in existence since long has been encroached, it is expected that Anchal Adhikari, Daudnagar shall expedite the encroachment proceeding and conclude the same in accordance with law within a period of four months from the date of production/communication of a copy of this order. We have expressed no opinion on the merits of the matter and it will be decided by the Anchal Adhikari on its own merit. 2 The writ petition is disposed of. BKS/- (Shiva Kirti Singh, ACJ.)
