Both these Interlocutory Applications [I.A. (Civil) 1670/2026 and I.A. (Civil) 1671/2026] have been taken up together for consideration.

¶72

We have heard Mr. D. Saikia, learned Advocate General, Assam, for the applicant in both these Interlocutory Applications, and Mr. K. N. Choudhury, learned senior Advocate for the respondents.

¶73

Several writ petitions were filed challenging the validity of the Assam Land (Requisition and Acquisition) Act, 1964 on several grounds.

¶74

As an interim measure, this Court had directed that the petitioners should not be dispossessed from the land in question till the decision in such matters. At one point of time, this Court had also directed the respondents to remove the boundary wall made by tin-sheets.

¶75

Today, these Interlocutory Applications have been filed with a grievance that the petitioners have not been dispossessed, but they have attempted to change the character of the land by making new constructions. The prayer made in the Interlocutory Applications are,

¶76

Page No.# 14/14

¶77

therefore, to restrain the petitioners/respondents in the Interlocutory Applications from changing the nature and character of the land.

¶78

Though the petitioners/respondents in the Interlocutory Applications have denied of having changed the character of the land, but considering that the applicant/State has been directed not to dispossess the petitioners till the time the issue is decided by this Court, we make such direction absolute with restraint on the respondents/writ petitioners not to change the character of the land in question, in any manner whatsoever, failing which this Court will take a serious view of the matter.

¶79

In all fitness of things, the writ petitions and the appeals ought to be decided at the earliest.

¶80

Keeping that in mind, we direct for listing of these cases on 23.07.2026, at 2:00 P.M .

¶81

Both the Interlocutory Applications are allowed to the extent indicated above.

¶82

The Interlocutory Applications stand disposed off.
