2. The learned counsel appearing on behalf of the 4th respondent brought to the notice of this Court that the subject property is a 'Government Poramboke Land' and the petitioner is an encroacher.
3. It is needless to state that encroachers are to be evicted by following the procedures as contemplated. Encroachers have no right to seek the relief to continue in the encroached property.
4. In view of the fact that there is an allegation of encroachment against the petitioner, the relief as such sought for cannot be granted. However, the respondents 1 and 2 are directed to verify the revenue records and if any encroachments are made in that locality, initiate all appropriate actions to evict the encroachers and utilize the Government property for the benefit of public at large.
5. With this direction, the writ petition stands dismissed. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
