IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.19145 of 2010 ANIL KUMAR @ PAPPU SINGH . Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS . ----------- 2. 7.12.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner is aggrieved by what he contends is forceful construction of a road on his Raiyati lands in the District of Lakhisarai situated in between Murwaria to Pathua. Learned counsel submits that his private Raiyati agricultural lands cannot be utilized for construction of a road except after acquisition in accordance with law. It is further submitted that before acquiring agricultural lands, the respondents are required to make all necessary endeavour to construct the road on other lands, more particularly Gairmazarua Aam Lands. It appears that the petitioner has already represented before the District Magistrate with a copy to the Executive Engineer, Rural Development Department as also the Circle officer on 15.10.2010. Let the District Magistrate examine the grievances of the petitioner and dispose it off by a reasoned and speaking order within a maximum 2 period of two months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. Pending disposal of the representation, since construction of the road involves expenditure from public funds, this Court expects the District Magistrate to act with reasonable prudence because if ultimately the petitioner succeeds, the wastage of public funds that shall accrue by reason of such construction ultimately being held not to be sustainable, the answerability shall lie personally with the District Magistrate. Let a copy of this order be communicated to the Collector, Lakhisarai through FAX at the cost of the petitioner. P. Kumar ( Navin Sinha, J.)
