The Seven Roads Public Welfare ... vs The Union Of India

Madras High Court|26 July, 2017

JUDGMENT / ORDER

(Order of the Court was made by G.R.SWAMINATHAN, J.) The petitioner has filed this writ petition in public interest for directing the respondents to re-structure the Road Over Bridge at KM 0.8 of Palayamkottai ? Sivanthipatti Road in lieu of existing LC.No.6 at Railway KM 6/600 ? 700 in between Palayamkottai and Seithunganallur Railway Junction and also lay down the level crossing underground sub way in L.C.No.6 of Sivanthipatti Road, Palayamkottai as per the order of the third respondent dated 19.09.2016.
2.In matters such as this, it is not possible for this Court to issue any direction to the authorities. The petitioner's association wants the Road Over Bridge in the place in question. But they are not happy with the way it has been planned by the authorities. They want modification of the construction as proposed by the respondents. In the very nature of things, these issues essentially fall in the realm of experts.
3.This Court is not having the necessary inputs or the requisite expertise to evaluate the pros and cons. The writ petitioner has not alleged any malafides on the part of the authorities. Therefore, it is not possible to entertain this writ petition.
4.The writ petition therefore stands dismissed. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed.
