Mr. Devender K. Sharma, Advocate, for respondents No.5 & 6.

Having heard the matter and having heard the respective contentions of learned counsel for the parties, prima facie it appears to be a dispute intra the petitioner and the private respondents, who happen to be real brothers, which is creating an impediment in the laying down of the sewer line. Whereas, the petitioner is insisting that the sewer line be laid down in a particular manner, the same is being objected to by the private respondents, who are suggesting that the sewer line be laid down from the backside of the ancestral house. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that as far as the petitioner is concerned, he just wants a sewerage connection, be it from the backside of the ancestral house or otherwise. 4. In the light of the statement so made by learned 3 2025:HHC:15437-DB counsel for the petitioner, as agreed, this petition is disposed of with the direction that the petitioner as well as the private respondents shall appear before respondent No.4, who will have an inspection carried out of the area and thereafter, as is agreeable to all the parties, let a sewerage pipe line be laid from the backside of the ancestral house, so that none is aggrieved of the laying down of the same. 5. Parties to appear before respondent No.4, on 02.06.2025, at 11:00 am. Thereafter, said respondent shall ensure that needful is done, as expeditiously as possible and preferably, within a period of three months. 6. Accordingly, the petition stands disposed of, so also the pending miscellaneous application(s), if any. (Ajay Mohan Goel) Judge May 22, 2025 (Shivank Thakur)
