On prayer of the petitioner, liberty is granted to correct the nomenclature of the 2nd respondent in the cause title of the application. Affidavit of service filed by the petitioner is taken on record. The Panchayat is not represented despite service. The petitioner alleges that the private respondents have raised construction on a plot of land recorded as
“Sali” in the LR Record of Rights without conversion of the same and without obtaining sanction from the concerned Panchayat. The petitioner submitted a representation in this regard before the concerned authority on 30th April, 2024, which is yet to be considered. The petitioner seeks
consideration of the same.
Learned counsel for the private respondent denies and disputes the allegations raised by the petitioner.
2 In view of the allegation raised by the petitioner, the Pradhan, Polerhat-II Gram Panchayat, being the 2nd respondent herein, is directed to consider and dispose of the representation submitted by the petitioner dated 30th April, 2024 within four weeks from the date of communication of this order upon granting reasonable opportunity of hearing to all concerned including the petitioner and the private respondents, in accordance with law. The decision taken by the authority shall be communicated to the parties within a week thereof. In the event the construction allegedly raised by the private respondents is found to be illegal/unauthorized, the concerned authority shall take necessary steps in accordance with law. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. There shall, however, be no order as to costs. Since no affidavit is invited, the allegations contained in the writ petition are deemed not to have been admitted. Urgent certified website copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities. (Suvra Ghosh, J.)
