    Summary: The Jharkhand High Court dismissed the petitioner's writ petition challenging encroachment notices issued under the Public Land Encroachment Act. Rather than quashing the notices, the court directed the petitioner to appear before the Circle Officer-cum-Collector to present his defence, which shall be decided on merits with a proper hearing and reasoned order. The court emphasized that no adverse order should be passed without affording the petitioner adequate opportunity to be heard. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
