Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:71841 Court No. - 35 Case :- WRIT - C No. - 13926 of 2025 Petitioner :- Lohare Singh Respondent :- State Of U.P. And 10 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Satya Prakash Sharma Counsel for Respondent :- C.S.C. Hon'ble Manish Kumar Nigam,J. 1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Standing Counsel for the State and perused the record. 2. This writ petition has been filed for the following reliefs:- "A. Issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus directing the respondent no. 2 and 3 to take necessary action against the respondent nos. 7 to 11. B. Issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus directing the private respondent not to disturb the peaceful possession of Khata No. 393 Gata No. 2188/78, area 1.3830 hectare of the petitioner." 3. A preliminary objection has been raised by learned Standing Counsel that the dispute of the petitioner is with the private respondent Nos. 3 to 11 regarding property in question and as such writ petition is not maintainable. 4. I have perused the averments made in the writ petition and the annexures annexed thereto. From the perusal of the same, it appears that the dispute of the petitioner is with private respondent Nos. 3 to 11. 5. The Supreme Court in the case of Shalini Shyam Shetty v. Rajendra Shankar Patil, (2010) 8 SCC 329 has considered a large number of its earlier judgements and held that writ petition is not the proper remedy in respect of the property dispute and the party should be relegated to seek appropriate remedy before the Civil or Revenue Court. Paragraph nos. 64 and 65 of the judgment in Shalini Shyam Shetty (supra) are extracted hereinbelow-: "64. However, this Court unfortunately discerns that of late there is a growing trend amongst several High Courts to entertain writ petition in cases of pure property disputes. Disputes relating to partition suits, matters relating to execution of a decree, in cases of dispute between landlord and tenant and also in a case of money decree and in various other cases where disputed questions of property are involved, writ courts are entertaining such disputes. In some cases the High Courts, in a routine manner, entertain petitions under Article 227 over such disputes and such petitions are treated as writ petitions. 65. We would like to make it clear that in view of the law referred to above in cases of property rights and in disputes between private individuals writ court should not interfere unless there is any infraction of statute or it can be shown that a private individual is acting in collusion with a statutory authority." 6. In view of the law laid down by the Supreme Court, I am not inclined to interfere in the matter. 7. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to avail the remedy as available to him under law. Order Date :- 6.5.2025 Ved Prakash (Manish Kumar Nigam,J.)
