.

The petition complains that the forest land has been given and shown as the Wakf property. The direction is sought against the State Government to take possession of the forest land and to protect the same.

2] It is not necessary for us to keep this matter pending and it shall be open for the respondent No.4 - Forest Department and the Collector under whose jurisdiction the area in question comes, to take cognizance of such complaint and if it is found that the Government property is encroached upon, to take steps for removal of such encroachment.

3] The petition stands disposed of.
