In terms of clause 9 of the judgment rendered by the Gauhati High Court in PIL 74 of 2012 (subsequently corrected as PIL 78 of 2012), the notices were issued to the petitioners and they were called upon to submit the required documents and proofs for asserting their lands rights in the tribal sector within Page No.# 25/28 the next 15 days. Upon failure to adhere to the notices, the lands shall be removed or cleared of the people within one month from the date of receipt of the notices. The schedule described in the notice(s) reflected that it is in respect of writ petitioners. The petitioners immediately upon being served with the notice(s) submitted their representations supported by necessary documents which they claimed to be available with them. However, since no specific orders have been passed, petitioners became apprehensive and approached this Court by filing the present writ petition.

Having heard the learned counsel for the parties and upon perusal of the pleadings available before the Court, this Court is of the considered opinion that the writ petitions need not be kept pending and the same can be disposed of with the following directions. 7.

While conducting the hearing, the Deputy Commissioner/District Page No.# 27/28 Commissioner, Morigaon will adhere to the directions passed by the Apex Court in the order dated 03.02.2020 in SLA(C) No.2121/2020. By the said order, the Apex Court directed that the Deputy Commissioner/District Commissioner must examine the claims of each occupants on case to case basis and thereafter, if the order is found to be adverse to the petitioners, then a reasonable time must be given to the occupants to take recourse for appropriate remedy as permissible under the law. 8. Accordingly, the Deputy Commissioner/District Commissioner will now proceed to hear each and every individual on the basis of the documents and the replies filed by the petitioners and conduct the necessary hearing on a case to case basis.

Till such a hearing is conducted, the Revenue Authorities will not proceed to evict the petitioners from the said lands in terms of the notice(s) dated 29.12.2025. Page No.# 28/28 9.
