Nepali Murmu And ANR. v. State Of West Bengal And ORS.

W.P.A. 23043 of 2024 Nepali Murmu & Anr.

VS The State of West Bengal & Ors.

Mr. Santanu Maitra Ms. Kakali Pal ...for the State.

Mr. Suman Chakraborty ...for respondent nos. 5, 6, 7 & 10.

Petitioners approached this Court being aggrieved 13.08.2025 Court No. 35 M/L. No.869 Rakib by the inaction of the police authorities and prayed that the physical possession in respect of a plot of land be ensured by the police authorities.

Having considered the prayers so advanced, I am of the view that the police authorities are hardly empowered to ensure any individual, so far as the property is concerned.

At the relevant point of time State drew up a proceeding under Section 107/116 of the Cr.P.C. Police authorities have also registered a case being Pandua Police Station case no. 364/2024.

Learned advocate appearing for the respondent nos. 5, 6, 7 and 10 denies and dispute the contention and further submits that the writ petition is not maintainable having background of a civil dispute relating to a land. Having considered the nature of the dispute, I am of the view that police authorities had taken appropriate steps at the relevant point of time. Police authorities

would keep a vigil and ensure that there should not be any violation of law and order.

With the aforesaid observations WPA 23043 of 2024 is disposed of.

All concerned parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court.

Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities.
