Hon'ble Mrs. Sunita Agarwal,J.
Supplementary affidavit filed today is taken on record.
The allegations are of unauthorized occupation over the public utility land belonging to Gram Sabha. The name of the encroachers have not been disclosed in the writ petition. Moreover for removal of encroachment, if any, from the public utility land, there is a provision under section 67 of U.P. Revenue Code, 2006, which requires a proceeding to be initiated against the unauthorized occupant(s) of Gram Sabha land after putting them to notice and giving due opportunity of hearing.
It is, therefore, open for the petitioner to file a proper application under Section 67 of U.P. Revenue Code, 2006. In case such an application is moved, the revenue authorities shall make the necessary enquiry and take all steps for removal of encroachment, if any, from the public utility land.
With the above observations and direction, the writ petition is disposed of.
