IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE, BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO. 3827/2011 SANJEEV VINAYAK KHAIRNAR VS. THE DIVISIONAL COMMISSIONER NASIK AND OTHERS Mr. Shrikant S. Patil, Advocate for the petitioner. Smt. Y.M. Kshirsagar, A.G.P. for respondent No.1 & 2. Mr. Mukul Kulkarni, Advocate for respondent No.3. CORAM : A.V. NIRGUDE, J. DATED : 30th June, 2011. PER COURT : 1. Heard. 2. This writ petition is filed against concurrent finding of the Court below that the petitioner has made encroachment on the Government property. After giving notice of the proceeding, the petitioner submitted his reply and tried to contend that this land in dispute belongs to Gram panchayat and was allotted to him for his business. He say that he is occupying the land on the basis of the resolution, passed by the Gram panchayat and would be entitled to occupy the same lawfully, until the higher authority refused sanction for such transfer. This argument is valid only if the land in question belongs to the Gram panchayat. The record shows that the land in occupation of the petitioner, does not belong to Gram panchayat. It belongs to the Government. So, the petitioner’s case was rejected by the Court below. I find no error in the impugned error. The petition is dismissed. [A.V. NIRGUDE,J.] ts k/2011/June30/wp3827.11
