Through the medium of this petition, the petitioners are seeking to check the Government from making use of its own property on the plea that their land measuring 5 kanals 11 marlas is comprised in adjacent khasra No. 46. 02. The petitioners have no locus to come forward seeking such a ‘writ of mandamus’/prohibition, whereby Government and its Departments are intended to be restrained from making use of the Government’s property, be it obtaining in the form of land or any building to be constructed thereupon. Hence, the writ petition deserves to be dismissed Serial No. 21 WP(C) No. 1400/2024 for lack of locus of the petitioners, but since the learned counsel for the petitioners is absent, as such, the writ petition is dismissed for non-prosecution alongwith connected application(s). 03.
