Thru. Prin. Secy. Home Lko. And 5 Others .....Respondent(s) and laying down khadanja and naali over it. The petitioners are the recorded tenure holder of Gata no.268Min./0.1850 hectare, Gata no.270/0.2560 hectare, and Gata no.247/0.4020 hectare, situated in Village Larpur Dakshin, Tehsil Jalalpur, District Ambedkar Nagar. The respondents are widening the chak road. The actual chak road is only 8 feet and 3 inches. Now, the respondents are constructing naali of 3 feet to the side of the chak road and thus, encroaching upon the bhoomidhari land of the petitioners and the Gaon Sabha is doing this out of political enmity. 4. Sri Mohan Singh, learned counsel for the Gaon Sabha, on the basis of instructions, states that the chak road is on Gata nos.246 and 266 and the original width of the chak road was 17 feet as marked in 2012-13. However, in 2013, when interlocking road was constructed, 3 feet on each side was left for construction of drain/naali. Now, drain has been constructed on 3 feet and 34 inches, left on each side. The petitioners are aggrieved as they do not want such naali/drain to be constructed as it would take away their land. 5. This writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the Sub Divisional Magistrate concerned to constitute a revenue team to demarcate Gata nos.246 and 266 afresh within a week from today, and if such demarcation is done, then any temporary encroachment on the chak road shall be removed.
