42. Shri AK Hussain, learned counsel for the respondent no. 6 in WP(C)/4202/2022 has defended the action of the AFDC and has submitted that the initial order of settlement was not done by following the due process of law and accordingly, the same was cancelled vide order dated 15.12.2021. The said order was the subject matter of challenge in WP(C)/858/2022 with regard to Dakar Beel in the district of Dhubri. However, this Court vide order 14.02.2022 did not interfere with the same and had only granted liberty to the petitioners to file a representation and the petitioners be given a reasonable opportunity. Thereafter, the impugned order has been passed on 13.06.2022 which is the subject matter of challenge of the present writ petition. By referring to the affidavit-in-opposition dated 20.07.2022, Shri Hussain, learned counsel has submitted that such challenge has to be restricted only to the decision making process which, in the instant case, does not suffer from any infirmity. By referring to Annexure-B of the said affidavit-in-opposition, the learned counsel, Shri Hussain has submitted that an order was passed by the AFDC 26.04.2022 whereby, it was stated that in respect of four Beels, including the Dakra Beel, the Project Manager of the respective districts directed not to interfere with the possession. The said order, however, was put to challenge by the present respondent no. 6 as petitioner in WP(C)/4034/2022. However, during the hearing, the learned Standing Counsel, AFDC has produced a copy of the order dated 13.06.2022 by which the settlement of the Dakra Beel in favour of the Bilasipara Mohakuma Fishery Co-operative Society Ltd. has been cancelled. In view of the same, the aforesaid writ petition was closed vide an order dated 17.06.2022.
