Protection of forest land from encroachers and restoration of already encroached Forest land are the duty of the respondent no.2. On detection of,,,

encroachment inside Forest land and Wild Life Sanctuary, decisions to retrieve forest land was taken at the Secretary level in the month of April 2014.",,,

After completing all ground verification through Total Station Method (TSM) survey on the basis of reference points shown by Revenue staffs, the are",,,

of encroached Fores lands in three villages, namely Asola, namely Asola, Maidangarhi, Sahoorpur and Bhatti were identified. On the basis of TSM",,,

survey maps, detection of area of encroached forest land was done. The TSM survey maps for Asola showing the boundaries of Khasra no. 1724,",,,

1728, 1677, 1763 etc., is annexed herewith and marked as Annexure I.",,,

After completing the physical identification through TSM survey on the ground, DCF (S) issued notices to illegal occupants of Forest Khasras, namely",,,

Khasra nos. 1724, 1728, 1677 and 1763. The notices issued to illegal occupants of these Khasras are annexed herewith and marked as Annexure II.",,,

The notices were issued to individuals as well as in leading News paper. The notice issued in New paper is annexed herewith and marked as,,,

Annexure III.,,,

Thus unauthorized structures lying inside Khasra no. 1724, 1728, 1763 and 1677 were removed starting from 21.04.2014 onwards. Precautions were",,,

taken to identify the boundary of Forest Land and Demolition drive was carried out after giving prior notice to the encroachers. No private lands were,,,

taken over. Only encroachments identified through the abovementioned TSM survey were demolished. During the demolition drive, road passing",,,

through Khasra no. 1728 was destroyer for which no private person has a right to claim.â€​,,,

7.Thus, the position which emerges from the record, is that the petitioner is the owner of 12 bighas land situated in Khasra Nos.1729-1733 in village",,,

Asola, whereas (6-11) bighas of land in the said khasras belongs to one Ustad Hafiz Ali which was found to be lying vacant at the time of",,,

demarcation and only 6 bighas land owned by the Forest Department in Khasra No.1724 which was found to be in the boundary of the petitioner’s,,,

predecessor. In view of the categoric stand taken by the respondents, that they do not propose to demolish any property constructed by the petitioner",,,

on land found to be woned by his predecessor in the aforesaid four Khasra Nos.1729-1733, I find that the present petition is wholly, without any cause",,,

of action as the respondents are not trying to interfere with the possession of land owned by the petitioner.,,,

8.However, in case, the respondents seek to tinker with the demarcation already finalised in October, 2004, the petitioner would be at liberty, to",,,

challenge any subsequent demarcation, by taking appropriate steps in accordance with law.",,,

9.

The petition is disposed of in the above terms.,,,
