Judgment: Heard counsel for the parties. 2. This petition was filed in December, 2005 for limited relief to direct the respondents to consider the representation expeditiously and thereafter to remove the encroachments from the forest land compartment No.457 and other Compartment Unchehara, District Satna. During pendency of this petition, the Scheduled Tribes and other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act of 2006') has come into force, pursuant to which the Competent Authority is inquiring into the rights of the forest dwellers. 3. Until all those proceedings are taken to its logical end, it may not be open to the competent Authorities to proceed in the matter against the persons protected under the Act of 2006. 4. However, at the same time, there will be no impediment to proceed against the persons who are not protected under the Act of 2006 and the unauthorized structures put up in the forest land referred to in the petition. That is the matter to be inquired into by the concerned Sub Divisional Officer, Revenue/Sub Divisional Officer, Forest, as the case may be. That inquiry be completed within reasonable time and appropriate decision be taken as may be advised expeditiously. 5. We hope and trust that the entire inquiry will be completed by the concerned Authorities within four weeks from today and the outcome thereof is communicated to the petitioner within the same time. 6. The petitioner will be free to make representation to the concerned Authorities for taking action in respect of unauthorized structures and encroachers not covered by the Act of 2006, which inquiry can be taken forward by the Competent Authorities to its logical end expeditiously within the time frame. 7. We are not expressing any opinion on the said plea of the petitioner or any defence available to the respondents in the said proceedings. All questions are left open. 8. The petition is disposed of accordingly.
