No. 1, Ms. Farah, learned ASC accepts notice on behalf of respondent No. 2 and Mr. Anubhav, learned counsel accepts notice on behalf of respondent No. 3. 4. A perusal of the petition shows that the petitioners are residents of Village Budhpur, Delhi- 110036, and are seeking to agitate issues with regard to unauthorised construction of godown forming part of Village Nangli Poona, Delhi- 110036, which is at a distance of about 5 kms from where the petitioners reside. 5. I am of the view that no rights of the petitioners are affected and the present petition is not a Public Interest Litigation. The petition on the face of it seems to be for motivated and extraneous purposes. For the said reasons, I am not inclined to exercise jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. 6. The present petition is dismissed in the aforesaid terms. JASMEET SINGH, J MARCH 9, 2026/sp This is a digitally signed order.
