2. Through the impugned order, the fourth respondent has stated that the sixth respondent has purchased the property through an unregistered deed from the vendor's vendor. After having recorded the same, the official respondents have directed to remove the fencing put up by the petitioner in his patta land. The official respondents have no power to direct the petitioner to remove the fencing and the parties ought to approach the Civil Court. In fact the respondents have rightly directed the petitioner as well as the sixth respondent to approach the appropriate Civil Court. But the direction to remove the fencing is unnecessary and beyond the jurisdiction of the respondents.
3. In such circumstances, the official respondents ought not to have issued a direction to remove the fencing. Therefore, the portion of the order i.e.,
