Jharkhand Public Land Encroachment Act | Statutory Procedure Under Section 3 Mandatory, PIL Remedy Barred : Jharkhand HC

Jharkhand High Court rules that complaints regarding public land encroachment must follow the statutory procedure under Section 3 of the Jharkhand Public Land Encroachment Act, 2000, dismissing a PIL seeking direct court intervention. The judgment reinforces that statutory remedies are exclusive and preclude judicial bypass via PIL for such disputes.
