Allahabad High Court
RASHID ALIversusSTATE OF U.P. AND 3 OTHERS
- Decided
Holding
The petitioner failed to prove encroachment and the writ petition was disposed.
Summary
The petitioner, Rashid Ali, filed a writ petition alleging that he had not encroached upon the adjacent chak road. The court noted that the petitioner had not taken any steps to demarcate his land, which was essential to establish the claim. Consequently, the court found no evidence of encroachment and disposed of the petition. The court directed that if the petitioner later files an application for demarcation, it should be decided expeditiously. It also warned that any execution proceedings under Section 67 of the U.P. Revenue Code, 2006, must involve careful verification of the alleged encroached area. The petition was therefore dismissed without any order of relief.

- Whether the petitioner has encroached upon the adjacent chak road
