Court No. - 39
Case :- PUBLIC INTEREST LITIGATION (PIL) No. - 3400 of 2018 Petitioner :- Raj Bahadur Yadav Respondent :- State Of U.P. And 4 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Yogesh Agarwal Counsel for Respondent :- C.S.C.,Diwakar Singh
Hon'ble Dilip Gupta,J. Hon'ble Neeraj Tiwari,J.
The grievance of the petitioner is that certain village pond land on Plot Nos. 72 and 73 is being encroached upon.
Having regard to the judgment of the Supreme Court in Jagpal Singh and others Vs. State of Punjab and others, reported in AIR 2011 SC 1123, an earlier Public Interest Litigation was disposed of by a Division Bench of this Court in the case of Prem Singh Vs. The State of U.P. and others, reported in 2012 (11) ADJ 404.
In consequence, we direct that the petitioner would be at liberty to approach the concerned respondent with a certified copy of this order so that an appropriate inquiry can be initiated and required action be taken in accordance with law to protect the public pond in accordance with law laid down by the Supreme Court. We expect that this exercise should be completed expeditiously.
Petition is, accordingly, disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs.
Order Date :- 26.4.2018 Junaid (Dilip Gupta,J.) (Neeraj Tiwari,J.)
