4 16-9-2011 After hearing learned counsel for the appellant,

we find that even as a member of general public he has

sufficient interest in ensuring that the land in question, if it

is a public land, is kept free from unauthorized occupation.

In that view of the matter, the prayer made in I.A. No. 3798

of 2011 to permit the appellant to maintain this appeal,

although he was not party to the writ proceeding, is allowed.

Issue notice in the limitation matter as well as in

appeal upon respondent nos. 1 and 2, for which requisite by

ordinary process must be filed within one week, failing

which the memorandum of appeal shall stand dismissed

without further reference to a Bench.

No notice need be issued to other respondents as

they are officials.

Let two copies of the limitation petition as well as

memorandum of appeal be served in the office of Advocate

General, Bihar, Patna within one week, failing which the

memorandum of appeal shall stand dismissed without
2

further reference to a Bench.

Until further orders, let status quo be maintained

in respect of the land in question.

Rule is made returnable within eight weeks.

Put up after service of notice.
