……………….

3 05.08.2011 Petitioner seeks direction to the respondents

not to demolish the portion of his constructed house

under the garb of compliance the order dated

24.10.1996 passed by the District Magistrate,

Jehanabad in Case No.11/1996-97 for removal of

encroachment as the petitioner’s case is that the

authorities have already removed the encroachment

much earlier and the aforesaid order stood complied

thereafter.

After some argument, it is submitted that by

the several orders in other writ petitions, the
2

petitioners thereof have been granted indulgence for

filing representation before the respondent no.2, i.e.,

the District Magistrate, Jehanabad. Xerox copies of

some of the orders, i.e., the order dated 1.11.2007

passed in C.W.J.C. No.5380 of 2005 (Ganesh

Prasad Gupta Vs. The State of Bihar & ors.) and

the other order dated 1.11.2007 passed in C.W.J.C

No. 5039 of 2005 ( Janak Dulari Jaiswal Vs. The

State of Bihar & ors.), have been produced. Let the

same be kept on record. Petitioner also proposes to

file such representation.

Learned counsel for the State also submits that

the writ petition can be disposed of in terms of the

aforesaid orders as the petitioner also proposes to

file a representation before respondent no.2, i.e., the

District Magistrate, Jehanabad.

In above view of the matter, this application is

also being disposed of in terms of order passed in

C.W.J.C No. 5380 of 2005 and C.W.J.C. No. 5039 of

2005. If such a representation along with the

certified copy of the present order including all the

relevant documents in respect of the claim of the
3

petitioner is filed within a period of six weeks then

respondent no.2 shall consider and dispose of the

same in accordance with law expeditiously,

preferably within a period of four months thereafter.

In the meanwhile, the encroachment should

not be removed beyond the measurement indicated in

the order dated 24.10.1996 as contained in Annexure-

2 to the writ application and Annexure-E to the

counter affidavit.

Accordingly, this writ application stands

disposed of.
