Court No. 19 (265719) 01.04.2026 (AD 4) (S. Banerjee) WPA 6562 of 2026 Mohinur Khan & Anr. Vs. The State of West Bengal & Ors. Mr. Nitai Chandra Saha Mr. Santanu Barik Ms. Rupa Mondal Ms. Nisha Agarwal …for the petitioners Mr. Ramchandra Guchhait Ms. Suchana Banerjee …for the State Affidavit of service filed in Court today, is taken on record. Petitioners and the private-respondents are cosharers in respect of LR Dag No. 1914 within Mouza – Kuleswar, JL 130 under Diamond Harbour Police Station in the district of South 24 Parganas. Petitioners allege that the private-respondents, in collusion with antisocial elements, are attempting to cause disturbances in the peaceful possession and occupation of the property possessed by the petitioners. Petitioners approached the learned Executive Magistrate, Diamond Harbour, South 24 Parganas by filing an application under Section 163(2) BNS and the learned Executive Magistrate 2 passed an order on February 10, 2026 directing the Block Land and Land Reforms Officer, Diamond Harbour – I to cause a local enquiry and to submit a report along with the relevant records of rights and sketch map mentioning the details of the recorded owners of the property mentioned in the schedule of the said application. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioners submits that in spite of such order, the Block Land and Land Reforms Officer has not taken any step. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner further submits that the police authorities have also not taken any step to protect the life and property of the petitioners in spite of a representation being made by the petitioners to the police authorities. After going through the averments made in the writ petition, this Court finds that there is a dispute with regard to possession of an immovable property between the petitioners and the private-respondents. The Block Land and Land Reforms Officer do not have any authority to decide such a dispute and the petitioners have to work out their remedies and approach the appropriate forum in that regard. However, if the petitioners are aggrieved by the inaction on the part of the police authorities, it will be 3 open to the petitioners to take appropriate steps before the appropriate forum. With the above observations this writ petition stands disposed of. (Hiranmay Bhattacharyya, J.)
