                                          ORDER

03-11-2025

1. Heard Mr. A. R. Bhuyan, learned counsel for the petitioners and Mr. P.N.Goswami, learned Additional Advocate General, Assam assisted by Mr. I. Kalita, learned counsel representing the respondent Forest Department. Also heard Mr. A. I. Ali, Page No.# 23/25

learned Standing counsel representing the respondent Election Commission of India.

2. According to the petitioners, they are residents of Dhanchila Barbeel, Islampur Village, within Dhan Chala Revenue Village of Borpather Gaon Panchayat and Jugijan Anchalik Panchayat, under Kampur Revenue Circle, in the district of Nagaon.

3. Apprehending eviction at the hands of the Forest Department, the petitioners earlier approached this Court by filing the writ petition, WP(C) No. 5967/2025.

4. In the said writ petition, Mr. Goswami, learned Additional Advocate General, Assam, took a stand that the land in question is under the Borapani Reserved Forest in the district of Nagaon and therefore, in terms of the order dated 18.08.2025 passed by the Division Bench in WA No.251/2025 [ Abdul Khalek & Ors. Vs. the State of Assam and Ors.], the Forest Department had issued 15-day notices to the affected persons. In the backdrop of the submission described above, the said WP(C) No. 5967/2025 was disposed of directing that no eviction process be carried out without following the procedure prescribed in law, including the order dated 18.08.2025 passed in WA No. 251/2025.

5. The petitioners have once again approached this Court against such a notice of eviction, on the ground that, being situated within the notified revenue villages, the Forest authorities do not have any jurisdiction under law to issue such a notice.

6. Mr. Goswami, learned Additional Advocate General, Assam, on the other hand, submits that to resolve the issues whether the Forest Department has its jurisdiction to issue such notice requires factual determination i.e. whether the land occupied by the petitioners are under the reserved forest or within revenue village, and accordingly, the authorities have already conducted a spot verification, inasmuch as, some of the petitioners have already filed representations and such representations are yet to be decided. Therefore, the instant writ petition is premature.

7. Forest lands are outside the purview of settlement, however, there may be various Page No.# 24/25

situations, such as question of disputes pertaining to the boundary of such forest or there may be disputes related to reservation or de-reservation of the land for forest or for that matter, there may be a dispute that the persons who have been granted the settlement in respect of a land even before being declared as reserved forest etc. such may involve a bona-fide claim of right to claim.

8. Thus, when forest land cannot be settled, however, when a bona fide claim is raised, the affected persons should be given a proper opportunity to be heard.

9. In the opinion of this Court, when the bonafide claim of right is raised, the authority cannot be permitted to unilaterally decide as to whether an occupier/possessor has a bonafide claim of the right involved, inasmuch as, it would require adjudication of both law and facts and without providing any opportunity to the occupier/ possessor, it would be in violation of principle of natural justice,

10. Under such circumstances, issuance of a notice shall be necessary to form a subjective satisfaction, which is in consonance with the principles of natural justice inasmuch as the same will facilitate a just, fair and transparent procedure, which are facets of Articles 14, 19 and 21 of the Constitution of India.

11. Since in WP(C) No. 5967/2025, a Co-ordinate Bench had protected the petitioners from the eviction and the learned Division Bench in WA No. 251/2025 provided specific time period to file representation(s) by the affected persons who are sought to be evicted on the ground of occupying the reserved forest land, this Court is of the opinion that no further order needs to be passed in the present case in this regard.

12. The petitioners shall be at liberty to file representations in terms of said WP(C) No. 5967/2025, and the respondent authorities shall consider all the grievances of the petitioners, including the issue of jurisdiction that may be raised. The Forest Department, as well as the concerned Revenue authority under the District Commissioner, Nagaon, shall conduct a joint verification of the status of the land in question, and thereafter, they may proceed with the eviction depending on the result/report of such verification as per Page No.# 25/25

law and in terms of paragraph 21 of the judgment dated 18.08.2025 passed in WA No.251/2025.

13. With the aforesaid observations and directions, this writ petition stands disposed of.
