JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR MEDHI ORDER 14-08-2025 Heard Shri A. R. Bhuyan, learned counsel for the petitioners. Also heard Shri R. Borpujari, learned Standing Counsel, Revenue Department. Shri D. Gogoi, learned Standing Counsel, Forest Department. Shri H. Sarma, learned Addl. Senior Govt. Advocate, Assam represents the other official respondents. The grievance of the petitioners is with regard to apprehended eviction from the plot of land. It has been projected that the land in question is a Revenue land and in some cases, pattas have also been granted. The apprehension of the petitioner is that the eviction notices have been issued on an incorrect presumption that the land in question is forest land. When this matter had come up for consideration on 11.08.2025, Shri Sarma, the learned State Counsel had made a submission that the writ petition is pre-matured inasmuch as no show cause reply was submitted and therefore a final decision was yet to be taken. The learned counsel for the petitioners, at that stage had prayed for time with regard to the action taken for furnishing replies to the show cause notices. Shri Bhuyan, the learned counsel for the petitioners, by referring to the additional affidavit filed on 13.08.2025 has submitted that though the petitioners had approached the authorities with certain documents, those were not accepted. Controverting the case projected by the petitioners and also the statements made in the additional affidavit, the learned counsel for the respondents have Page No.# 23/24 submitted that there is no statement at all that the show cause notices were replied to and a vague averment has been made in the additional affidavit that certain documents were presented which were not accepted. It is also submitted that unless the show cause notice are replied, the respondent authorities would not be in a position to consider the right of the petitioners, if any which they may project against the action which has been contemplated. In view of the aforesaid facts and circumstances, this Court is of the opinion that unless the replies are submitted by the petitioners against the show cause notices and further action is taken for not accepting the replies, no cause of action can be said to have arisen enabling that the petitioners to approach this Court. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. At this stage, Shri Bhuyan, the learned counsel has submitted that some time may be granted to enable the petitioners to file their replies to the show cause notices. The said prayer has however been objected to by the learned counsel for the respondents as sufficient time was already granted which has elapsed since the time of issuance of the impugned show cause notices. Be that as it may, in the interest of justice, further time of 10 days from today is granted to the petitioners to submit their replies to the show cause notices along with all supporting documents. To balance the equities, it is provides that till such submission of replies which has to be done within a period of 10 days as provided above, no coercive action be taken. It is however made clear that in case the replies are not submitted within the time specified, there would be no embargo on the respondent authorities in going ahead which the proposed action. It is needless to state that the replies are to be furnished to the authority which had issued the show cause notices, namely, Range Forest Page No.# 24/24 Officer, Goalpara Sadar Range, Goalpara.
