various survey numbers and pattas have been issued to the private

individuals.

4.We have heard the learned counsel appearing on either side

and perused the materials placed on record.

5.When we carefully perused the affidavit filed in support of

this writ petition, we are of the view that the petitioner seeks to establish his easmentary right. It is well settled that such disputed questions, particularly those relating to title, possession, and easementary rights, cannot be adjudicated in proceedings under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. The proper remedy for the petitioner is to approach the competent Civil Court for appropriate relief, where evidence can be

adduced and the issues can be decided on merits.

6.Accordingly, this writ petition is dismissed. There shall be no

order as to costs.
