    The High Court at Calcutta dismissed the appellants' appeal challenging eviction from Plot No. 4633 in Nabagram, Murshidabad, finding the land is a public pathway under Panchayat control on which the appellants have no ownership rights. The court upheld the Block Development Officer's inspection report classifying the land as "Dahar" (public pathway vested in the State under the West Bengal Estate Acquisition Act, 1953) and rejected the appellants' argument based on 40 years of possession, holding that government land cannot be encroached upon and the Panchayat authority may proceed with demolition under Section 25(2) of the West Bengal Panchayat Act, 1973. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
