For removal of encroachment a case has to be registered and after hearing the encroachers alleged, the Circle Officer, Barauni, is required to pass appropriate order for removal of encroachment, if there is any encroachment over the public land. No such procedure was followed in the instant case and as such the Court is not inclined to accept the submission of petitioner that there is some report with regard to encroachment over the public land and as such this Court should issue direction for removal of encroachment. The petitioner is advised to approach the Circle Officer for registering a regular case for removal of encroachment and the Circle Officer, Barauni, is required to register the encroachment case and after giving opportunity of hearing to the alleged encroachers, pass the order, in accordance with law. Necessary decision after registration of regular case for removal of encroachment be taken by the Circle Officer, Barauni, within a maximum period of six months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order.
