HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ARUN DEV CHOUDHURY
ORDER
18.03.2025
After hearing at some length, the learned counsel for the petitioners argues
Page No.# 23/23
that even if it is assumed that the stand of the State is correct that the land from
where the petitioners were evicted are not patta land as claimed by the
petitioners but government land and then also eviction without notice violates
their right to life and livelihood and therefore, this Court in exercise of its
jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, can adequately
compensate them in public law remedy.
Mr. Nath, learned Senior Government Advocate, Assam representing the
State in his usual fairness submits that though specific notices were not there,
however the petitioners were make aware of such eviction by announcement
through the public authority.
At this stage, Mr. Nath, learned Senior Government Advocate submits that
he may be granted some time to complete his instruction on the point of
compensation including placing some judgments in this regard.
Prayer stands allowed.
List these matters again on 25.03.2025 for further hearing.
