Mansurali Sheikh And ORS. v. State Of West Bengal And ORS.

28.03.2025 WPA 5685 of 2025 Sl.No.

Court No. 35 Mansurali Sheikh & Ors.

-VsThe State of West Bengal & Ors.

G.S.Das Mr. Mujibar Ali Naskar Mr. Sandip Kr. Mondal ... for the Petitioner(s) Mr. Suman Ghosh Mr. Arka Mondal ... for the State-respondent (s) Mr. Sounak Bhattacharya Mr. Chandra Nath Sarkar ... for the respondent nos.4-17 (except respondent no.8) Affidavit-of-service so filed be kept with the record.

The petitioners have approached this court as they have been obstructed for cultivation of their lands.

Earlier, there was a direction passed on 22.01.2025 in respect of WPA 13734 of 2023. Pursuant to the directions passed, an order has been passed by the Superintendent of Police, Baruipur Police District which reflects that there was a land dispute which was adjudicated by the

WBLRTT.

Accordingly, police authorities did not find any scope for any interference in respect of the representation made earlier.

Learned advocate for the private respondent nos. 4 to 17 (except private respondent no.8) submits that the civil suit has been dismissed.

Since there is an indication in the report that the WBLRTT is in seisin of the issues and the petitioners also have approached the learned Civil Court with appropriate remedies, I am of the view that the police authorities are not empowered to interfere with the dispute as has been referred to in the writ petition.

However, if it is found that there are issues which may breach the peace and tranquility in the area, the police authorities will keep a strict vigil and ensure that no untoward incident results out of the same.

With the aforesaid observations, WPA 5685 of 2025 is disposed of.

Pending application(s), if any, is also disposed of.

Report so submitted be kept with the record. Copies of the report be handed over to both the parties.

Parties to act on a server copy of this order duly collected from the official website of the Hon'ble High Court, Calcutta.
