A court‑mandated squad arrived at the Kundal Tehsil headquarters in Dausa district to remove an encroachment on a long‑disputed road, but the operation was halted because the required historic revenue documents could not be produced.
On Thursday, a team appointed by the district court reached the Kundal Tehsil headquarters in Dausa, Rajasthan, to execute a court order that demanded the removal of illegal structures encroaching on a road that has been contested for years.
The officials were prepared to clear the encroachment, but the process stalled when the department responsible for land records could not produce the old revenue files that the court had asked for to verify ownership and legal boundaries.
Without those documents, the team could not confirm the legitimacy of the removal, leaving the encroachment in place and the dispute unresolved. Authorities indicated that the matter will be revisited once the missing records are located or alternative evidence is presented.
The incident underscores the challenges faced by local administrations in enforcing court orders when historical land documentation is incomplete or unavailable.
Stakeholders, including local residents and property owners, remain divided over the road’s status, and the issue is expected to return to the courts for further deliberation.
