IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.12318 of 2011 1.Parshuram Singh, son of Sri Ram Nandan Singh, resident of Village/Mohalla-Belaganj, P.S. Belaganj, District- Gaya. 2. Ram Naresh Prasad, son of late Harihar Mahto, resident of Mohalla-Belaganj, P.S. Belaganj, District- Gaya ---- Petitioners. Versus 1. The State Of Bihar 2.

The Planning Director, NHAL, PIU, Patna (National Highway Authority of India, Patna Implementation Unit, Patna) ----- Respondents. -------------------- 3. 5.8.2011 Heard Mr. Nagendra Sharma for the petitioner as well as Mr. Kaushal Kumar Jha, learned Standing Counsel No.4 for the State. The petitioners are aggrieved by non removal of certain alleged encroachment made on a busy road near about Bela Bazar N.H. 83, Gaya. Without going into the merits of this case, at this stage, we feel it appropriate to direct the petitioner to file an appropriate application giving details of the land alleged to have been encroached upon before the appropriate authority designated as Collector under the Bihar Public Land Encroachment Act, 1956. If such an application is filed before the said authority, he would be 2 obliged to look into the matter and take appropriate action and ensure that the said proceedings come to a logical conclusion within a maximum period of four months from the date of filing of such application before him. It is needless to say that the said authority shall act in accordance with law and shall also give notices to all the parties concerned before passing final order. Upon passing of the final order the authority shall ensure that no encroachment on the public land remains. With the aforesaid directions the writ petition stands disposed off. Vinay/ ( S. K.
