Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:12830-DB Chief Justice's Court Case :- PUBLIC INTEREST LITIGATION (PIL) No. - 83 of 2025 Petitioner :- Ravendra Singh Respondent :- State Of U.P. And 3 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Sheo Kinkar Singh,Suryaprakash Sharma Counsel for Respondent :- C.S.C. Hon'ble Arun Bhansali,Chief Justice Hon'ble Vikas Budhwar,J.
1. This petition purportedly in public interest has been filed by the petitioner seeking a direction to the respondents to make a bypass road in Kasba - Dhata, Tehsil - Khaga, District - Fatehpur away from from the residential area.
2. Submission has been made that the respondents are widening the road on account of which, the same would affect the villagers on account of movement of vehicles and therefore, the respondents be directed to make a bypass of the village instead of widening the road in question.
3. A perusal of the record indicates that those affected by widening of the road on the ground that they were not being paid compensation had approached this Court wherein specific directions have been given not to disturb the petitioners' therein without offering compensation to them or acquiring the land in accordance with law.
4. The suggestion made for constructing bypass, is not without undertaking any research and no suggestion has been indicated regarding the manner in which the bypass can be constructed. Off- the-cuff remark has been made that most of the land is government
land and those belonging to the private persons they are ready to give that land. However, no material in this regard has been produced in support of the contention.
5. In that view of the matter, the petition being wholly laconic, no case for issuing any direction under Public Interest Litigation jurisdiction is made out. The same is, therefore, dismissed.
