    Case Summary: WPC/5672/2025 The Jharkhand High Court disposed of a public interest petition seeking action against alleged encroachers on 87.41 acres of public land (Khata No. 10) in Mayadih village, Koderma district. Rather than directly adjudicating the encroachment claims, the court directed the petitioner to file a detailed complaint under the Jharkhand Public Land Encroachment Act, 2000 within 15 days, and mandated the Circle Officer/Collector to dispose of the complaint within six months while following statutory procedures and hearing the petitioner. The court left all parties' contentions open for substantive examination by the administrative authority under the applicable law.
