IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.7204 of 2009 MUKUL KUMAR & ANR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 02. 30.06.2009 Grievance of the petitioners is that though Encroachment Case No.3 of 2006-07 was registered by the Circle Officer, Parwalpur, in the district of Nalanda, based on which even a measurement was carried out and a report submitted by the Anchal Amin dated 22.9.2006 which is contained in annexure-1, no further action has been taken by the official respondents specially the Circle Officer in this regard. It is a clear case of failure to perform public duty and that too in a quasi judicial proceeding. Without expressing any merit on the claim of the petitioners or the dispute as such the Circle Officer, Parwalpur (Nalanda) is hereby directed that he shall take follow-up action, issue notice to the concerned parties and after hearing decide the issue so that grievance of the petitioners and the irritant if any is put to rest. Since it is an old matter of 2006-07 the Court expects the concerned Circle Officer to do the needful preferably within a period of six months. The writ application stands disposed of with the above direction. rkp (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J)
