Where did the whole controversy start?

It was said in the petition that the bridge over the river collapsed in 2004 because of illegal mining. On the petition, the court sought a response from the Railways. By showing the notification of 1959, revenue record of 1971, and land survey of 2017, Railways said that this land belongs to Railways and has been encroached upon.
It was proved in the High Court that the land belonged to the Railways. Only after this people were given the notice to vacate the land. People turned to the Supreme Court for the order to vacate the land. After this, the Supreme Court asked the High Court to hear the side of these people also. After a long hearing, the High Court accepted the matter of encroachment in this area.
