For the State Mr. Arghadip Das …. For the Respondent no. 6 Affidavit of service filed on behalf of the petitioner is taken on record. The Panchayat is not represented despite service. The petitioner alleges that the private respondent is raising unauthorised construction in the plot in question classified as Sali in the L. R.

Denying such allegation, learned counsel for the private respondent submits that the application for conversion of the classification of the land submitted by the private respondent before the Block Land and Land Reforms Officer, Kulpi, is 2 pending. The property was originally owned by three brothers out of whom two brothers sold out their respective portions in favour of the private respondent. The petitioner is the son of the third brother who has retained his portion. No construction is being raised by the private respondent in the said plot. The said respondent has only placed bricks in the plot for the purpose of planting trees. The contention of the parties needs to be verified by the appropriate authority.

In the event the construction allegedly raised by the private respondent is found to be illegal/unauthorised, the concerned authority shall take necessary steps in accordance with law. The writ petition is disposed of. 3 There shall be no order as to costs. Since no affidavit has been invited, allegations contained in the writ petition shall be deemed not to have been admitted.
