Certain other prayers have been made seeking directions to the Respondents to prepare Zone-wise and Ward-wise inventory of all such unauthorized religious encroachments allegedly made upon public land in Delhi and to remove them and further to constitute Joint Special Task Force for identification, prevention and removal of future encroachments upon public land. 5. The Petitioner also prays for issuing direction to fix responsibility of the concerned authorities and also to establish an accessible online portal for entertaining such complaints. 6. As already observed above, all the prayers made in the Petition are general and omnibus in nature. In absence of any specific allegation regarding encroachment etc. or existence of illegal construction on particular identified sites as also the nature of construction and encroachment might become difficult for the Court to issue any such directions which have been sought by the Petitioner in the Writ Petition. 7. Accordingly, the prayers, as it is, in our opinion cannot be granted in absence of appropriate and adequate pleadings. In these circumstances, the Writ Petition is dismissed. However, liberty is granted to the Petitioner to file fresh petition with the specific details and appropriate and adequate pleadings.
