By filing this writ petition, the petitioner prays for a direction upon the respondent - Circle Officer, Mahagama, District Godda, to remove the encroachment over the land situated at Plot No.860, Mouza Biswaskhani, and evict respondent No.5 from the said land, who is forcibly carrying out the said encroachment. 3. It is the case of the petitioner that the land in question belongs to a School and it is respondent No.5, who has encroached the same. 4. After going through the petition, especially para-6, I find that the petitioner claims himself to be a local resident of Village Biswaskhani, and the land situated at Plot No.860, having an area of 2026:JHHC:9454 2 02 kattha, 18 dhur, belongs to a School and is occupied by respondent No.5. 5. Since in para-6, the petitioner has stated that the land in question belongs to the School and the fact that the School is not a party before this Court, I am not inclined to entertain this writ petition. 6. Accordingly, this writ petition stands dismissed. (ANANDA SEN, J.) 02nd April, 2026 Prashant. Cp-2 Uploaded on 07.04.2026
