A writ petition seeking to prevent illegal construction on a specific piece of land may be closed if the respondents provide evidence that the construction is occurring on a different plot of land.

Headnote:The petitioner approached the court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, alleging that the respondents failed to protect a water tank in Sy No 119-11 (Ac 3.76 cents) of Kesavarayunipalem Village and were attempting to construct a waste garbage dumping yard therein, which was claimed to be a violation of Articles 300-A, 48-A, 51(A)(14), and 21 of the Constitution of India. The court noted the petitioner's submission that the land is classified as a water tank. The primary issue was whether the respondents were illegally constructing a garbage dumping yard in the subject water tank. The court observed that based on the instructions placed on record by the government, the garbage yard was being constructed in Sy.No.185-4 of Kesavarayunipalem Village and not in the subject land (Sy.No.119-11) as alleged by the petitioner. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is closed.
