Order

16/03/2026

This petition has been preferred by the petitioner, wherein it

has been stated that there are permanent encroachments in

village Makdawa, Tehsil Kotkasim, District Khairthal, which need to

be removed. It is stated that the petitioner had filed several

representations to the competent authority for removal of the

encroachments, however no heed was paid.

In another writ petition, Jagdish Prasad Meena & Ors. Vs

State of Rajasthan & Ors., the case was sent to the Public Land

Protection Cell, however as nothing has been done in this regard,

the petitioner therefore prayed as under :-

“It is, therefore, by submitting writ petition it is humbly prayed
that the writ petition of the this petitioner may kindly be accepted
and allowed and:-

(a) respondent No. 1 to 4 may kindly be directed to remove the
encroachment over the khasra number 972, 1113/973 of Village
Makdawa, Tehsil Kotkasim, District Khairthal-Tijara over and the
khasra No. 713/27 of Village Matalwas, Tehsil Kotkasim, District
Khairthal-Tijara.

(b) Any other appropriate order which this Hon’ble Court may
deem fit in the interest facts and of justice in the circumstances
of thecase in favour of the petitioner may kindly be passed.

11. Interim Relief:

12. Caveat:

That no notice has been received of lodging a caveat by the
opposite party.”

In response, the Collector and the Tehsildar have filed their

replies stating that there were temporary encroachments, which

have been removed and permanent encroachments are also there,

in which, notices have been issued to the concerned persons

under Section 45, 46, 47 and 48 of the Rajasthan Special

Investment Regions Act, 2016 and Section 90 and 92 of the Urban

Improvement Act 1959 to remove the encroachments. The BIDA,

Bhiwadi does not hold the control of Khasra No.972 and 1113/973

and would not be competent to take action in regard to any

encroachments in that area.

Applications have been filed by the concerned persons, who

are residing in the said Khasras and an order of the District

Collector dated 26.11.2025 has been placed before us, which

reflects that the District Collector has sent a proposal to the SDO

for extension of the Abadi land for regularizing the plots in Khasra

Nos.972 and 1113/973, which is in Abadi land. The action is to be

taken under Section 102-A of the Rajasthan Land Revenue Act of

1956.

At the same time, it has also been directed by the District

Collector to provide alternate places for accommodation of the

persons, who are residing in the said Khasra No.972 and Khasra

No.1113/973.

Learned counsel submitted that the land is in gair-mumkin

abadi area and therefore, it cannot be said that there is any

encroachment on the said land as the houses have been made and

they need to be regularized since the concerned Panchayat has

already issued pattas.

Considering the aforesaid aspects, we find that the present

PIL petition is without any basis and the relief claimed in the PIL

cannot be granted. Moreso, as the land falls in Abadi area, where

people are residing.

Accordingly, the present writ petition is dismissed.
