Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and Ms. Kritika
Singh, learned Additional Chief Standing Counsel for the
respondent.
The present writ petition has been preferred with the
following reliefs:-
• "I). Issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of
mandamus directing the respondent to restore the
land of the petitioners including boundary wall in its
previous position which was demolished illegally by
the respondent nos.2 to 10 during pendency of the
O.S. No.1254 of 2021 (Apurva Nath Vs. Hariom and
others), pending before learned Civil Judge (Junior
Division), Basti.
• II). Issue a writ order or direction in the nature of
mandamus directing the respondent no.1 to take
disciplinary action respondent no.3, 5, 6, 7 & 8 who
have illegally demolished the boundry wall of the
petitioner and tried to change the nature of the land
without adopting any legal procedure, in collusion
with the respondent nos.9 & 10."
Ms. Kritika Singh, learned Additional Chief Standing
Counsel raised a preliminary objection with regard to
maintainability of the writ petition on the ground that
Original Suit No.1254 of 2021 (Apurva Nath Vs. Hariom
and others) is pending before learned Civil Judge (Junior
Division) in which petitioners are the defendant in which
on the injunction application notices have been issued. It
is also submitted that there is no demarcation of land as
has been provided as per the provision contained under
Section 24 of U.P. Revenue Code 2006, therefore,
disputed facts cannot be examined under Article 226 of
the Constitution of India.
Learned counsel for the petitioner has very strenuously
advanced his submissions seeking indulgence of this
Court to interfere with the matter. However, he failed to
bag the discretion of this Court in petitioner's favour as
the premise on which the entire issue stands for does not
inspire confidence of this Court to look into the depth of
such civil dispute which bears complexity in facts and that
can only be redressed by filing a civil suit before the
appropriate court.
Confronted with the situation learned counsel for the
petitioner submits that he does not want to press the writ
petition, but certainly he will press the relief before the
concerned Court below.
In view of the above, the writ petition is dismissed as not
pressed.
