Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that earlier also a Public Interest Litigation was filed by identically situated people bearing P.I.L. No.1008/2025 (Rajesh Kumar vs. State of U.P. and 5 others). Now the instant petition has been filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India by a group of people claiming themselves as ration-card holders. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that Annapoorna Building is constructed without any proper sanction. He also submits that Annapoorna Building is 1.5 kms away and hence it will be difficult for them to go and get the food-grains. He further submits that the construction is being carried out without following the due procedure of law. 5. On the contrary, Shri Dilip Kumar Pandey, learned counsel appearing for State submits that instant petition has been filed on the behest of the fair price shop owner who never wanted the fair price shop shifted. He further submits that petitioner No.4 is the son of the existing fair price shop owner. 6. Learned counsel appearing for the State also submits that building of Annapoorna Bhawan is being constructed after following due procedure of law. 7. In view of the objections raised by the parties, we do not find any merit in the case and hence, the writ petition is dismissed.
