JUSTICE DEVASHIS BARUAH ORDER Date : 11.02.2026 Heard Mr. M.A. Sheikh, the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners. Ms. P.R.

Medhi, the learned Government Advocate appears on behalf of the respondent Nos. 2 to 4. 2. Taking into account the grievance of the petitioners, the instant writ petition is taken up for disposal at the Motion stage itself. 3. The case of the petitioners herein is that their predecessors- in-interest have been in continuous possession of the lands presently under the occupation of the petitioners for the last 50 (fifty) years. The 6 (six) petitioners herein have filed individual applications seeking allotment of the said lands. It is noticed that 2 (two) applications were filed in the year 2023, whereas Page No.# 4/5 the remaining 4 (four) applications were filed in the year 2025. The lands under their respective possession are described in detail in Schedules A, B, C, D, E and F to the instant writ petition. 4. It is the further case of the petitioners that though the said applications are pending consideration but on 03.01.2026, the petitioners have been threatened with eviction. Apprehending that they may be evicted without following the procedure established by law, the petitioners have approached this Court by filing the present writ petition. 5. It is no longer res integra that if the land in question is a Government land, the Government can evict the occupants by following the procedure established by law. This aspect has been duly dealt with by the learned Division Bench of this Court in the case of Md. Salak Uddin Vs. State of Assam & Others reported in (2024) SCC OnLine Gau 921. 6. Taking into account the above, this Court observes that if the petitioners are to be evicted from the lands in question as described in Schedules A, B, C, D, E and F, the respondents herein shall follow the procedure established by law as well as the mandate laid down by the learned Division Bench of this Court in the case of Md. Salak Uddin (supra). Page No.# 5/5 7. With the above, the instant writ petition stands disposed of. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
