Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:77621-DB Court No. - 3 Case :- WRIT - C No. - 15066 of 2025 Petitioner :- Prakash Chandra Agrawal Respondent :- Pramukh Sachiv Nagar Vikas Vibhag Uttar Pradesh Shashan Lucknow And Another Counsel for Petitioner :- In Person Counsel for Respondent :- C.S.C.,Sahab Tiwari Hon'ble Anjani Kumar Mishra,J. Hon'ble Jayant Banerji,J. 1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner who is appearing in person and Sri Sahab Tiwari learned counsel for the respondent. 2. The writ petition has been filed seeking the reliefs, the English translation of which are as follows:- "a. To issue an order, direction, or writ of mandamus in the interest of justice, quashing the disposal report dated 24.02.2025 of the Additional Municipal Commissioner of the Municipal Corporation, Mathura, Vrindavan, on the grounds that it is contrary to the facts and evidence. b. To issue an order, direction or writ of mandamus in the interest of justice directing the opposite parties to ensure the availability of officers/staff on the respective desks of all the departments in the office of Generalganj, Mathura City Zone similar to the Municipal Corporation Vrindavan Zone. c. To issue an order, direction or writ of mandamus directing the opposite parties that Mayor and Municipal Commissioner be instructed to sit once in a week for hearing the grievances of the local public in the office of Generalganj, Municipal Corporation, Mathura City Zone, and further direction be given for distribution of sweets on 15th August and 26th January. d. To pass any other order or direction as deemed fit by the Hon’ble Court considering the facts and circumstances of the case. e. To kindly allow the appeal with cost." 3. Evidently the petitioner seeks to raise issues which may be maintainable in a Public Interest Litigation after establishing his bonafide in view of Chapter XXII Rule 1 sub rule (3-A) of the Allahabad High Court Rules, 1952. 4. The petitioner was repeatedly asked that he should withdraw this writ petition and prefer a PIL but he refused to do so and insisting on arguing the matter on the top of his voice. 5. In view of the above, the writ petition is dismissed with cost of Rs.1000/- that shall be payable within two weeks, failing which, it shall be recovered as arrears of land revenue within two weeks thereafter.
