in the record of rights. It is contended that a final order has already been passed vide Annexure-14, dated 20.08.2011, but encroachment upon the public land is still existing without any appeal etc. having been filed by the encroachers for the purpose of challenging the final order passed by the Collector under the Public Land Encroachment Act. The petitioner claims that he has approached all the authorities including the District Magistrate, West Champaran, but despite the directions given by them, nothing has been done.

¶10

On such contention having been made on behalf of the petitioner, this writ application is being disposed of, without going into the merit of the case, with a direction to the District Magistrate, West Champaran, Bettiah to examine the matter. If he finds that the final order has been passed, which appears from Annexure-14, and even then the encroachment concerned has not been removed and still persisting after a lapse of 4-5 years then he will take necessary action for getting it removed in accordance with law. If he finds that there is some dereliction of duty on the part of any employee then he will fix responsibility for not proceeding in accordance with law.

¶11

However, it is made clear that this Court has not formed any opinion with regard to claim of the petitioner, which has to be examined by the District Magistrate himself and, thereafter, necessary action may be taken in accordance with law.
