Sinha, Advocate ------ 02/ 13.04.2026: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondents. 2. By filing this writ application, the petitioner prays for a direction upon the respondents refraining them from taking any coercive step for dispossessing the petitioner from the lands measuring area 4.29 acres, appertaining to Plot Nos.623, 925, 927 and 928 of Khata No.91 situated at Mouza Saldega, P.O., P.S. and District Simdega, which has been purchased by the grandfather of the petitioner by virtue of registered sale deed dated 29.03.1934 and demand with respect to the aforementioned lands is running in the name of the petitioner and rent receipts are being issued by the Revenue Authority acknowledging his possession over the said land. 3. It is the case of the petitioner that the petitioner’s peaceful possession has been disturbed by the said respondents. 4. Counsel appearing on behalf of the said respondent opposes the prayer and submits that it is some internal dispute between the petitioner and other private persons and the State in no way is involved in this matter. 5. Considering the said submission, since there is nothing concrete in this writ petition nor there is any evidence to suggest that the State is disturbing the possession of the petitioner, I am not inclined to entertain this writ petition. 6. If in future any steps are taken for eviction of the petitioner, it will be open to the petitioner to approach the appropriate Forum. It is also made clear that without following the due process of law, the petitioner cannot be dispossessed. 7. With the aforesaid observations and directions, this writ petition is disposed of.
