It appears that vide Memo No. 461 dated 13.03.2008 the Circle Officer, Kuchaikote called for a report from the Karmachari concerned and in compliance to that the Karmchari submitted his report endorsing the encroachment. A report was also called for from the Amin who also submitted his report on 25.03.2008 as contained in Annexure-2. The Circle Officer, Kuchaikote also found the encroachment during enquiry which gets reflected from the report dated 31.07.2008 as contained in Annexure-3. Subsequently it appears that Encroachment Case No. 19 of 1996-97 was initiated by which encroachment made by one Bhagwan Sah was removed but it is submitted that the land has been encroached again. A supplementary affidavit has been filed to the effect that after filing of the writ application before this Court directions were issued by the Circle Office, Kuchaikote on 05.06.2009 whereby the Circle Inspector, Kuchaikote was directed to be present along with the Anchal Amin and Officer-in-charge, Gopalpur on 16.03.2009 for removal of the encroachment, but it is submitted that still encroachment has not been removed. Let the Circle Officer, Kuchaikote, respondent No. 4 take needful action under the provisions of Bihar Land Encroachment Act within a period of three months. With the observations made above, the application stands disposed off. Shageer (Dinesh Kumar Singh, J)
