Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:76556 Court No. - 49 Case :- PUBLIC INTEREST LITIGATION (PIL) No. - 1102 of 2025 Petitioner :- Arti Devi Respondent :- State Of U.P. And 4 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Raja Sahani,Richesh Mishra Counsel for Respondent :- C.S.C.,Sudhir Bharti Hon'ble J.J. Munir,J. The only prayer in this petition is for the issue of a mandamus to respondent no. 2, the District Magistrate, Deoria to decide the petitioner's representation dated 11.03.2025 and the reminder application dated 05.04.2025 where he seeks removal of encroachment and construction of a road on land bearing No. 99 ad-measuring 0.158 recorded as Khalihan and Arazi No. 99 ad-measuring 0.1010 hectare recorded as Aangan Badi and Primary School relating to Village Beldariya, District Deoria. This Court in the exercise of our jurisdiction under Article 226 of the constitution, do not recommend the case of one litigant to the other for favourable consideration. The District Magistrate, Deoria is after all one of the litigants before this Court, the other being the petitioner. There is no reason why this Court, instead of deciding the lis, which the petitioner brings before us or the public cause that he espouses, should ask the litigant on the other side to decide the petitioner's cause. If that were permitted to happen, we would lose our raison d'être and at the same time, it would constitute an abdication of our sovereign judicial functions. This writ petition is, accordingly, dismissed with liberty to the petitioner to bring another PIL or other writ petition, as advised, but with a proper substantive relief that he claims before this Court.
