2026:UHC:3175 SL. No Date Office Notes, reports, orders or proceedings or directions and Registrar’s order with Signatures COURT’S OR JUDGES’S ORDERS WPMS No.1141 of 2026 Bhaskar Sah and Others --Petitioners Versus State of Uttarakhand and Others --Respondents Hon’ble Pankaj Purohit, J. Mr. Anil Kumar Joshi, learned counsel for petitioners. 2. Mr. V.D. Bisen, learned Additional C.S.C. for the State of Uttarakhand/ respondent Nos.1 and 2. 3. By means of the present writ petition, petitioners pray for the following reliefs:- i. Issue a writ of certiorari quashing the impugned order dated 17.04.2026 passed by respondent No.2 (contained as Annexure No.1 to this writ petition, Page No.16 to 22). ii. Issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus commanding and directing the respondents not to lay down the Sewer Line over the private property of the petitioners without acquiring the land under the provisions of Right of Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act 2013. 4. From perusal of the reliefs itself along with the averment made in the writ petition, it transpires that the petitioner can very well claim the same before the Civil Court, therefore, this Court declines to interfere in the matter. However, 2026:UHC:3175 petitioners are free to avail the Civil Law remedy available to it under the Private Law for redressal of their grievances. 5. Accordingly, the present writ petition is dismissed in limine. 6. Pending application(s), if any, also stands disposed of. (Pankaj Purohit, J.) 28.04.2026 PN
