Mr. Bharat Chandra Simai …for the petitioner Affidavit of service filed in Court is taken on record.

The petitioner claims to be the owner of a plot of land being Dag No. 217, JL no. 143, within Mouza Purul, under Police Station Panskura, in the District of Purba Medinipur. The petitioner states that a PWD road from Ratulia to Gobardhanpur is running adjacent to the aforesaid property of the petitioner.
