Heard Shri S.K. Panda, learned counsel for the petitioner and Miss S. Mishra, learned Additional Standing Counsel for the Stateopposite parties.

¶4

Considering the allegation involved in this matter and finding that the petitioner has submitted the application for removal of encroachment before the Collector, Ganjam instead of submitting the same before the Tahasildar, Purusottampur, Dist.-Ganjam-opposite party no.2, this Court permits the petitioner to submit a representation before the Tahasildar concerned ventilating his grievance for removal of encroachment, within a period of two weeks hence.

In the event, the petitioner files such application before the Tahasildar, Purusottampur, Dist.-Ganjam-opposite party no.3, Tahasildar, Purusottampur, Dist.-Ganjam-opposite party no.3 shall do well in looking into the grievance of the petitioner and making an enquiry involving the parties. It is directed that upon entering into an enquiry, if the Tahasildar, Purusottampur, Dist.-Ganjam observes, there is unauthorized occupation over the Govt. land, the Tahasildar shall initiate an appropriate proceeding following the provisions contained in the O.P.L.E. Act against the unauthorized encroachers and decide the same within a period of two months thereafter, but however, giving opportunity of hearing to the parties likely to be affected.

¶6
