The Director General of Police, Jharkhand, Ranchi 8. The Sr. Superintendent of Police, Ranchi 9. The Officer-in-Charge, Pundag Police Station, Ranchi ….. Respondents ----- CORAM HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH SHANKAR ----- For the Petitioner: Mr. Prabhat Singh For the Respondents: Mr. Mohan Kr. Dubey, A.C to A.G ----- 05/07.04.2025 The present writ petition has been filed for issuance of direction upon the concerned respondents restraining them from constructing road over the petitioner’s land appertaining to Khata No. 383, Plot No. 496, Mouza-Pundag, P.S-Pundag, District-Ranchi, measuring an area of 7 Acres without following due process of law. Further prayer has been made for issuance of show cause to the concerned respondents as to under what circumstances they have sanctioned map plan for construction of road over the said land without following due process of law as well as considering the petitioner’s representation. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner, in course of argument, submits that the petitioner aggrieved with the judgment dated 09.04.2024 passed by learned Division Bench of this Court in L.P.A. No. 231/2022 and other analogous cases, has preferred Special Leave to Appeal (C) No.(s). 16642/2024 before the Hon’ble Supreme Court in which notice has been issued to the respondents including Chintamani Trust, Palkot, Gumla. 2025:JHHC:10681 3. Mr. Mohan Kr. Dubey, learned A.C to A.G appearing on behalf of the respondents, submits that the petitioner without waiting for the outcome of the aforesaid S.L.P, pending before the Hon’ble Supreme Court, has preferred the present writ petition claiming that the land in question belongs to him. Since the judgement dated 09.04.2024 passed by learned Division Bench of this Court in L.P.A. No. 231/2022 and other analogous cases is still in force, the aforesaid claim of the petitioner is not worth consideration. 4. I find substance in the aforesaid submission of learned counsel for the respondents as Special Leave to Appeal (C) No.(s). 16642/2024 filed by the petitioner challenging the judgment dated 09.04.2024 passed by learned Division Bench in L.P.A. No. 231/2022 and other analogous cases is still pending consideration before the Hon’ble Supreme Court. Thus, the present writ petition with the aforesaid prayer is premature. Under the said circumstance, I am not inclined to entertain the present writ petition at this stage and the same is accordingly disposed of. 5. The petitioner is however at liberty to prefer a fresh writ petition on the present issue depending upon the outcome of the aforesaid S.L.P, pending before the Hon’ble Supreme Court. 6. Consequently, I.A. No. 1213/2025 also stands disposed of. Satish/- (RAJESH SHANKAR, J)
