                                 BEFORE
                  HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE SOUMITRA SAIKIA

                                      ORDER

28.01.2026 Heard Mr. K.N. Choudhury, learned senior counsel assisted by Mr. Z Khalid, learned counsel for the petitioners. Also heard Ms. M Barman, learned Government Advocate and Mr. R Borpujari, learned Standing Counsel, Revenue for the Page No.# 11/12

respondents.

The petitioners 70 in numbers are occupants or residents of the addresses mentioned in the district of Nagaon. The petitioners are aggrieved by the notices for eviction issued by the Circle Officer on 12.01.2026. By the said notices, they were called upon to submit necessary documents on 17.01.2026 and 19.01.2026 and were informed that a hearing will be held in the office of the said Circle Officer. In response to the said notice, some of the petitioners submitted their documents. However, no final orders have been passed, and the writ petitioners apprehend that since no orders are passed, the authorities may proceed to take steps to evict the petitioners from the concerned land.

Mr. K. N. Chaudhary, learned senior counsel has referred to the Judgment and order dated 29.08.2024 passed in W.P(C) No. 1349/2016 rendered by the Co- ordinate Bench to submit that the authorities are duty bound to follow the law laid down in a judgment rendered by Division Bench of Md. Salak Uddin Vs. State of Assam & Ors,[W.P(C) No. 1057/2022]. It is submitted that without a proper hearing, the authorities cannot evict the petitioners as sought to be done and therefore, appropriate orders be issued by the Court restraining the respondents to stay the process of eviction.

Mr. R Borpujari, learned Standing Counsel, Revenue and Ms. M Barman, learned Government Advocate submit that the process of hearings are underway. As per the instructions received, some of the petitioners have submitted the necessary documents. However, not all the petitioners have been able to furnish any valid land documents, allotment letters, jama bandi, etc. The matter is currently under examination by the Circle Officer, Raha, and upon conclusion of the hearing, the authorities will proceed to take necessary steps for eviction, if required, as per the procedure prescribed under law.

Mr. Borpujari, submits that he be permitted some time to complete his Page No.# 12/12

instructions in the matter and place all necessary documents, including any orders that may have been passed by the Circle Officer, in respect of the claims made by the petitioners.

Under such circumstances, since this matter will require some hearing, let

notice be issued, returnable on 20th February, 2026. Since all the respondents are represented by their respective counsel, notices are waived, However, extra copies will be furnished within a period of three working days from today.

Since the respondents have already submitted that the process of hearing by the Circle Officer pursuant to the notices issued is underway and no specific orders have been passed, we permit the respondents to proceed with the hearing. However, no final orders be passed without leave of the court till the next date fixed.

List again on 20.02.2026 JUDGE
