3 (iv) Any other relief, which may be deemed, fit by this Hon'ble Court just and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case may also be provided in favor of the petitioners.”
2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that vide earlier order dated 07.01.2025, the petitioner was directed to remove his enforcement, however as per the Sub-Divisional Officer, Revenue, it has not been removed and an order dated 07.01.2025 was passed stating that since it has not been removed as such, the petitioner be sent to civil imprisonment and for that, necessary direction may be issued to the SHO, Shivarinarayan and thereafter, an application for cancellation of warrant of arrest has been moved by the petitioner on 17.01.2025. He would further submit that he has already moved a Writ Petition before this Court bearing WPC No.5849/2024 against the order for removal of encroachment, as such, the authorities may be directed to consider the same and not to take any action during the pendency of the petition.
3. Upon this, learned counsel for the respondent/State submits that no order has been passed in favour of the petitioner, as such, the concerned SDO (Revenue) has rightly passed the order.
4. Considering the fact that the Writ Petition bearing WPC No.5849/2024 is already pending before this Court, in which notices have been issued further since the petitioner has already moved an application for cancellation of warrant, as such, the SDO (Revenue), District- Janjgir- Champa is directed to consider the application of the petitioner filed on 17.01.2025 and decide the same in accordance with law.

5. It is made clear that this Court has not made any opinion on the merits of the case, however, the SDO (Revenue), District- Janjgir-Champa has to see that the petitioner has approached this Court while filing a Writ Petition bearing WPC No.5849/2024, which is still pending for
consideration.
6. With the aforesaid observation(s) and direction(s), the present petition stands disposed of.
