IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.3748 of 2009 BIDYA PATI PASWAN s/o late Jhari Paswan, resident of village- .Dadhiya Belar, P.S. –Muffasil, District- Samastipur. Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR . 2. District Magistrate, Samastipur. 3. Block Development Officer –cum- Circle Officer, Samastipur. 4. Upenda Paswan s/o late Bindeshwar Paswan, resident of village- Bhatgama, p.S. Dalsingsarai, District- Samastipur. At present residing at Dadhiya Belar, P.S. Muffasil, District- Samastipur. ----------- 2 7.5.2010 Petitioner is the resident of village- Dadhiya Belar in the town of Samastipur. His grievance is that one Upendra Paswan has been settled with some land for Indira Awas adjacent to petitioner’s land. As is usual while that land was settled with respondent- Upendra Paswan apart from mentioning plot number and area , the land was not demarcated. The result is that both are fighting as to where and to what extent they have their lands. The only relief petitioner wants for a direction to the respondents to get the land measured and demarcated , so that there is no problem at any point of time. Having considered the matter, in my view, there cannot be any objection to the relief as sought for. I , therefore, direct the Block Development Officer, who is also exercising the power of Circle Officer, Samastipur, to immediately take up the matter and depute a Government Amin to measure and demark the land either of the petitioner or of the said Upendra Paswan or both which would be the best, so that no trouble or law and order problem is created. I also direct the District Magistrate-cum-Collector, - 2 - Samastipur to ensure that in future when ever any part of land is to be settled with any person by the State, the State apart from giving Purja must clearly demark the land before handing over possession to the respective party. This would avoid unnecessary litigation and waistage of time. Block Development Officer-cum- C.O., Samastipur would take necessary steps within two weeks from the date of production of a copy of this order. With the above observations and directions, the writ petition sands disposed of. singh (Navaniti Prasad Singh)
