2. Learned Government Advocate, based on the instructions from the competent authority, and by submitting a copy of the revenue records, would submit that authorities conducted survey and found that the subject property is a patta land. That apart, the petitioner has earlier filed W.P. No. 24721 of 2026 and withdrew the writ petition on 06.07.2026.
3. Learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that drainage facility provided in that locality is inadequate.
4. In this regard, petitioner is at liberty to approach the local body authority to provide adequate drainage facility to cater to the needs of the residents in that locality. However, authorities found that there is no encroachment and that being the factum, the relief as such sought for in the present writ petition cannot be granted.
5. With the above liberty, the writ petition stands dismissed. No costs. Consequently, the connected Miscellaneous Petitions, if any, are closed. (S.M.S.,J.) (R.R.V.,J.) 10-11-2026 Index: Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order Neutral Citation: Yes/No GD
