O R D E R
22.06.2026
Heard Mr. D. P. Borah, the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the Petitioner. Mr. R. Borpujari, the learned counsel appears on behalf of the Respondent No.1 and Mr. N. Goswami, the learned counsel appears on behalf of the Respondent Nos.2, 3, 4 & 6.
2. The instant writ petition so filed is a complete abuse of the process of the Court in as much as the Petitioner herein in spite of a suit being Title Suit No.19/2022 pending before the learned Court of the Munsiff at Charaideo has filed the instant writ petition seeking a direction upon the District Administration that the Private Respondents should be evicted from the land of the Petitioner.
3. It is the opinion of this Court that the instant writ petition is not maintainable in as much as the public law remedy under Article 226 of the Constitution cannot be invoked for settling personal scores between the Petitioner and the Private Respondents.
4. Accordingly, the instant writ petition, being an abuse of the process of the Court, stands dismissed.
JUDGE Comparing Assistant
