The issues raised in the present proceeding are required to be finally adjudicated by the respondent District Magistrate and other functionaries of the State working under his control. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that, in fact, some direction was issued by respondent District Magistrate, yet the matter is not being conclusively decided by respondent nos. 5 and 6, compelling the petitioner to approach this Court in the present proceeding. In view of nature of dispute raised in the present proceeding, this Court is of the considered opinion that the matter should be examined once again by respondent District Magistrate at his own level and if the grievances raised on behalf of the petitioner are found to be valid, 2 then corrective measures are also required to be taken by the competent authority within a reasonable period. In the aforesaid circumstances, the petitioner is hereby directed to appear before respondent District Magistrate, Gopalganj within a period of four weeks from today with a certified copy of the present order and a detailed representation, raising all grievances which have been raised in the present proceeding. If such a representation is filed by the petitioner within the time prescribed by this Court, accompanied by the certified copy of the present order, then that must be looked into by respondent District Magistrate and should be disposed of by a speaking order, after giving an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner and all concerned persons including the officials subordinate to him, who have been arrayed as respondents in the present proceeding. Entire exercise must be completed by the respondent District Magistrate within a period of three months from the date of filing of such representation by the petitioner. However, if the petitioner does not appear before respondent District Magistrate, with a detailed representation and a certified copy of the present order, within the time prescribed, then it shall be construed that the writ petition has finally been rejected by this Court. With the aforesaid observations/directions, the 3 writ petition stands disposed of. BTiwary/ ( Birendra Prasad Verma, J.)
