BEFORE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR MEDHI ORDER 18.09.2025 Heard Shri HRA Choudhury, learned Senior Counsel assisted by Shri AM Ahmed, learned counsel for the petitioners in all the 3 cases. Also heard Shri D. Saikia, learned Advocate General, Assam assisted by Shri R. Borpujari, learned Page No.# 37/41 counsel for the State respondents. 2. Considering the subject matter involved and as agreed to by the learned counsel for the parties, these writ petitions are taken up for disposal at the motion stage itself. Suffice it to mention that this Court had earlier passed order dated 29.08.2025 directing the respondents to obtain instructions and in the meantime, the pleadings have also been exchanged. It also transpires that pursuant to the observations made by this Court, the petitioners have submitted their individual response to the impugned notice dated 20.08.2025. 3. The challenge in these writ petitions are against an impugned identical notices dated 20.08.2025 issued by the Circle Officer, Biswanath Revenue Circle under Regulation 18(1) and (2) of the Assam Land and Revenue Regulation (ALRR), 1886. For better appreciation, the contents of one of the notices are extracted hereinbelow: “ NOTICE It has come to the notice of the undersigned that you have encroached to the land of Village Grazing Reserve (VGR) described in the schedule below of village-Baghmari under Baghmara Mauza. In that context and in exercise of the power conferred by Section 18(2) of the Assam Land and Revenue Regulation Act (ALRR), 1886, order passed by the Supreme Court of India in Appeal No.1132/2011 @ SLP(C) No.3109/2011 (Civil Appellate Jurisdiction) and Memo No.RSS 188/2011/Pt./29 dated 15/06/2015 of Revenue and Disaster Management Department, and the order of the District Commissioner, Biswanath, vide No.ECG-154128 dated 18/08/2025, this notice is issued to you under the provision of Section 18(2) and Page No.# 38/41 (3) of the Assam Land and Revenue Regulation, directing you to dispose of any structure, house, shop, building illegally constructed by you on the land and any kind of cultivation done on the land and vacate the land within 15 days of issue of this notice. If you have any claim of right over the land, you are asked to inform the office of the undersigned with relevant documents / particulars. Otherwise, the encroachers will be responsible for their eviction from the land and for imposition of fine as per the rules/sub-rules of Assam Land and Revenue Regulation, 1886. Scheduled of Land Ka) Revenue village – Niz Baghmari Kha) Dag No. 189 Gogchar (VGR) and 203 No. Gopchar (VGR) Sd/- Circle Officer Biswanath Revenue Circle Biswanath Chariali” 4. Shri Choudhury, learned Senior Counsel for the petitioners has submitted that the aforesaid provisions of law are not applicable as the petitioners are not encroachers. Rather, it is contended that the petitioners are erosion affected persons and in this regard, a communication of 1957 has been relied upon, as per which, certain grazing land under Dag No. 25, Baghmara Mouza were de- reserved for settlement. The settlement process was initiated and the predecessors of the petitioners were given Annul Periodic Patta for different Page No.# 39/41 plots of land. He has also submitted that even before independence, a Gaonburah was appointed. He accordingly submits that the present notices are not sustainable in law. 5. Shri Saikia, learned Advocate General, Assam has strenuously opposed the writ petitions by submitting that those have been presented at the pre-mature stage as final decision is yet to be taken. He has denied that any part of the grazing land were ever de-reserved and allotted to any person. He has also submitted that the records do not contain any communication of 1957 of de- reserving of any grazing land. 6. The learned A.G. has also drawn the attention of this Court to the affidavit-in-opposition filed on 04.09.2025 along with which the relevant documents including a Map have been enclosed. It is submitted that the present drive to remove the encroachment are from a grazing land covered by Dag Nos. 203 and 189 which is clearly reflected in the Map. 7. Shri Choudhury, learned Senior Counsel for the petitioners has however submitted that pursuant to the impugned notices, the petitioners have filed their individual responses along with all the documents to show their bona fide. He has also disputed the Map enclosed to the affidavit-in-opposition and on the other hand has placed before this Court a Map which has been stated to be extracted from the website. 8. After considering the rival submissions, this Court is of a prima facie opinion that a final decision is yet to be taken by the respondent authorities after the individual response and documents have been submitted by the petitioners in response to the notice dated 20.08.2025. It also appears that there are disputes which are factually in nature and which can be gone into only Page No.# 40/41 by the authorities after proper verification with the records and other contemporaneous materials. As observed above, while the petitioners have claimed that they are not encroachers and have documents to show their settlement, the said fact has been stoutly refuted on behalf of the State. It is needless to mention that if encroachments are found in VGR land, the same are to be removed which has been directed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Jagpal Singhs Vs. State of Punjab reported in (2011) 11 SCC 396 wherein the following directions have been given: “23. Before parting with this case we give directions to all the State Governments in the country that they should prepare schemes for eviction of illegal/unauthorized occupants of Gram Sabha/Gram Panchayat/Poramboke/Shamlat land and these must be restored to the Gram Sabha/Gram Panchayat for the common use of villagers of the village. For this purpose the Chief Secretaries of all State Governments/Union Territories in India are directed to do the needful, taking the help of other senior officers of the Governments. The said scheme should provide for the speedy eviction of such illegal occupant, after giving him a show cause notice and a brief hearing. Long duration of such illegal occupation or huge expenditure in making constructions thereon or political connections must not be treated as a justification for condoning this illegal act or for regularizing the illegal possession. Regularization should only be permitted in exceptional cases e.g. where lease has been granted under some Government notification to landless labourers or members of Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes, or where there is already a school, dispensary or other public utility on the land.” Page No.# 41/41 9. In view of the aforesaid situation, this Court is of the opinion that the appropriate authority, in the office of the District Commissioner, Biswanath be directed to take a final decision by considering the individual response and the documents submitted by the petitioners pursuant to the notices dated 20.08.2025. Such decision, as directed above, is to be taken after giving the petitioners personal hearing and by making any inquiry through any authorized person, if deemed necessary. The decision be taken expeditiously and till such decision is taken, status quo as on today be maintained. 10. The writ petitions are accordingly disposed of in terms of the observations made above.
