A R BHUYAN,MR N Z CHOUDHURY Advocate for the Respondent : DY.S.G.I., SC, FOREST,GA, ASSAM BEFORE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR MEDHI ORDER 26.09.2025 Heard Shri A.R. Bhuyan, learned counsel for the petitioner. Also heard Shri P.N. Goswami, learned Additional Advocate General, Assam for the Forest Department. Shri RKD Choudhury, learned Dy. SGI and Shri N. Goswami, learned State Counsel are present. Considering the subject matter involved, the written instructions received by the learned AAG and as agreed to by the learned counsel for the parties, this petition is taken up for disposal at the motion stage. The petitioners claim to be residents of Pub Jamuna Gaon and Paschim Page No.# 12/13 Moudanga under Namati Mouja, Doboka Revenue Circle in the district of Hojai and are landless and erosion affected people. They have claimed to be residing over the area for a long span of time and are exercising voting rights and are having electricity connections. However, on 07.09.2025, 08.09.2025 and 10.09.2025, surveys have been conducted by the personnel of Forest Department giving rise to a reasonable apprehension of their eviction from the land in question and therefore, the present petition has been filed. Shri Bhuyan, learned counsel for the petitioners has submitted that no notice of any nature has been issued till date and the surveys made on the aforesaid dates have given reasonable apprehension of their eviction. Shri Goswami, the learned Additional Advocate General has however submitted that as per written instructions received, all the grounds urged in the petition are imaginary and not based on any materials or record. He has submitted that on the aforesaid dates i.e. 07.09.2025, 08.09.2025 and 10.09.2025, though surveys were made, those were routine in nature. He has also submitted that there is no such villages as described by the petitioners in the area in question which is a part of the Jamuna Moudanga Reserve Forest, as notified in the year 1918 and as per law, nobody can reside in such reserve forest. He has also submitted that there is no move to carry out any eviction from the area in question at this stage and if at all such a move is taken, the same would be done by following the due process of law. Considering the aforesaid submissions which are based on the written instructions, this Court is of the opinion that there may not be any existing cause of action to be espoused at the present. Accordingly, the writ petition is closed. Page No.# 13/13 It is however clarified that if and when any cause of action arises, the petitioners would have liberty to approach the Court.
