HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD PUBLIC INTEREST LITIGATION (PIL) No. - 3063 of 2025 Chief Justice's Court HON'BLE ARUN BHANSALI, CHIEF JUSTICE HON'BLE KSHITIJ SHAILENDRA, J. 1. This petition, labeled as public interest litigation, has been filed by the petitioner seeking a direction to respondent no. 3 for maintaining and preparing availability of confirmed map of Revenue village Dharav, Pargana Bayalshi, Tehsil Sadar, District Jaunpur. 2. Submissions have been made that correction application made by the petitioner was allowed, however on a restoration application filed by respondent no. 4, in absence of the confirmed map, the order has been set aside and, therefore, the respondents be directed to produce the confirmed map. 3. A perusal of the petition indicates that the grievance of the petitioner is absolutely personal wherein the order passed has been set aside in absence of a confirmed map. Filing of a petition in public interest seeking production of a confirmed map for the purpose of yielding litigation launched by the petitioner cannot be countenanced. If the petitioner has grievance qua the order passed in absence of a confirmed map, which ought to have been with the respondents-authorities, the order needs to be challenged on that count. Filing of PIL for the purpose cannot be countenanced. 4. The petition is, therefore, dismissed leaving it open for the petitioner to Versus Counsel for Petitioner(s) : Gulab Chandra Tiwari, Uday Shankar Tiwari Counsel for Respondent(s) : Amit Gupta for Bhupendra Kumar Tripathi, Rajiv Singh (S.C.) Shitala Prasad Singh .....Petitioner(s) State of U.P. and 4 others .....Respondent(s) take appropriate proceedings in accordance with law.
