5. The trial Court as indicated herein above, rejected the application filed by the petitioner-defendant No. 1, hence, this revision.
6. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner Mr. Mahesh Gupta that the plaintiff sought relief of declaration as well as injunction and the same was sought against the Municipal Board, Neem ka Thana and as such without compliance of Section 271 of the Act, the suit is not maintainable. He relied upon Nagar Palika, Nathdwara v. Temple Board, Nathdwara reported in RLW 1981 page 239, Anil Kumar Shrivastava v. Mukesh Chand Saxena & ors.

U.I.T., Bikaner and others reported in AIR 1998 page 108, Anand Laxmi Enterprises v. Vasant Balu Mhatre & ors. reported in 2009 (1) CCC 696 (Bombay) and Nagar Palika Parishad, Mihona and Anr. v. Ramnath, Anr. reported in 2014 (2) WLC (Sc) Civil 204 and Murli Ram & Ors. v. State of Rajasthan & Ors. reported in 2014(3) DNJ (Raj.) 1105.
7. It is also submitted that the plaintiffs filed this suit with regard to the public way and removal of the structure constructed, affecting the said public way. In view of Section 91(1) of CPC, the suit for public nuisance can only be filed by the Advocate General or with the leave of the Court by two or more persons. In the case at hand, the plaintiffs does not have an independent right over the said public way. Therefore, as per Section 91(1) of CPC, the suit filed by the plaintiff-respondent is not ma
