The writ petition has been filed by the petitioners with following prayers:- “(A) For issuance of a Writ of Mandamus (1) for amending the plan for acquisition and construction of the Service Road in the Western side of the ROB from Mahavir Chowk to Railway Crossing No. 32A in Village Chak Lokman, Thana No. 71 Chadar No. 1 Block Dalsinghsarai falling in Ward No. 09(old) (new ward no. 26), Dalsinghsarai Nagar Parishad and for taking only 18 feet from the ROB for constructing the service road including covered drainage from Mahavir Chowk to the railway crossing. (II) for taking measures for correction in the records and Land Acquisition Notice and consider the land and buildings of the petitioners as commercial instead of residential in view of the fact that the said entire stretch is market and shops and shops with residential houses are standing on the land plots under acquisition. (III) revise the MVR and calculate the compensation for the land at the enhanced rate in view of the fact that the MVR has not been revised after 01.04.2014 and (B) For issuance of any other writ(s)/ Patna High Court CWJC No.8151 of 2026(2) dt.24-06-2026 3/3 direction(s)/ order(s) which may deem fit in the facts & circumstances of the case stated hereinafter.” 3. Through this writ petition the counsel for the petitioners has raised the issue of amendment of a plan and the issue of MVR to be calculated for the purpose of compensation. 4. Since, the issues of the petitioners are too broad it can only be addressed in a Public Interest Litigation, I am not inclined to interfere into the policy decision of the State. 5. In view of the aforesaid, the present writ petition stands disposed of with the liberty to the petitioners to pursue their representation before the “Authorities concerned”. 6. It is made clear that if such representation is being filed before the “Authorities concerned”, the same shall be disposed of within a period of three months. khushbu/- (Alok Kumar, J) U
