On this consideration, the impugned proceedings are hereby set aside, leaving it open to conduct a proper survey by issuing a notice to the petitioner and the others concerned and take necessary steps in the event the petitioner is found to be in occupation or encroachment of any public road. Till completion of such process, the respondent authorities are further directed not to take any coercive steps pending consideration of the above observation.” 3.

Then he submitted his objections on 10.12.2025. Grievance of the petitioner is that, without considering his objections, 2nd respondent has issued the impugned final notice dated 09.02.2026 directing the petitioner to voluntarily remove the encroached portion of ACC shed, as marked during the open survey, within seven (7) days from the date of receipt of the said notice. Questioning the same, the petitioner has filed the present Writ Petition. 4.
