And 6 Others .....Respondent(s) respondent no.6 & 7, which is a private School, Adarsh Sri Munishwar Sanskrit Mahavidyalaya, Gaura Mafi, Tehsil Patti, District Pratapgarh, is making some construction allegedly over the land belonging to the petitioner i.e. Gata No. 269 area 1.313 hectare situated in village Gaura Mafi. 4. Learned Standing Counsel has informed this Court that Gata no. 269 is a very large Gata and it has several Minjumla numbers and 55 co-tenure holders' names have been recorded on such Gata. It is not clear from the pleadings on record as to which part of Gata, which belongs to the petitioner, has been encroached upon by the respondent nos.6 and 7. Even otherwise, the writ petition is not maintainable as it has been filed alleging encroachment by the respondent nos.6 and 7 for which the appropriate remedy would be to file a Suit before the competent Revenue Court/Civil Court. 5. This petition is disposed of with a direction to the petitioner to approach the appropriate Court with regard to the relief no.II prayed by him. Insofar as relief no.I is concerned, the petitioner has already approached the District Inspector of Schools, Pratapgarh, by means of a representation dated 18.09.2025. We direct the District Inspector of Schools to hold an enquiry and then pass an appropriate order, in accordance with law, after giving opportunity of hearing to respondent nos.6 and 7, within a period of three months from the date a copy of this order is produced before him.
