However, in view of the consent of both the parties, the matter is being heard finally. 2. By filing the instant writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, the petitioners have made challenge to the order dated 23.08.2028 issued from the office of Government of Rajasthan Home (Group-2) Department, whereby administrative sanction was issued for change of Headquarter of Police Station of Basdayal from Gram Basdayal to Gram Panchayat Karana. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that action of the respondents in changing the Headquarter of Police Station Basdayal is illegal and arbitrary and is against the public interests. He also submits that after establishment of the Police Station at Gram Basdayal, there was certain decrease in the crime in area. Learned counsel further submits that the order of change of Headquarter of Police Station Basdayal is under political influence. 4. Reply has also been submitted by the respondents and during the course of arguments have submitted that there is no illegality or malafide in change of the Headquarter of the Police Station of Basdayal. It was also submitted on behalf of the respondents that at which place the Headquarter of a Police Station to be kept, is an administrative prerogative of the Government after considering the other relevant factors. 5. As per the facts on record, in the Budget Year 2023-24 in the Rajasthan Assembly, a declaration was made for establishment of a Police station at revenue Village Basdayal, Tehsil Narayanpur, District Kotputli-Behror and thereafter, a notification was issued on 05.06.2023 for establishment of Police Station which includes area [2026:RJ-JP:14264] (3 of 3) [CW-15545/2024] of around 38 villages. The Gram/Village is said to have made allotment of a land of 1000 square yard for construction of the building of the Police Station. 6. In writ jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India one can approach the High Court for safeguard of his fundamental rights provided under Constitution and other legal rights. Establishment of a Police Station or its Headquarter at particular place in no manner can be said to be a fundamental right or legal right of any citizen. At which place the Police Station to be established or at which place its Headquarter to be made, it is prerogative of the State Government after taking into consideration all the relevant factors. 7. The petitioners have not been able to show in what manner their fundamental rights provided under Constitution have been infringed by issuance of the impugned order. They have also not been able to show how the impugned order is illegal or arbitrary. 8. The Court finds no merit in the writ petition, hence, the same is dismissed. 9. In view of the order passed in the main petition, the stay application as well as pending application, if any, also stands disposed of. (GANESH RAM MEENA),J Ashish Kumar /305
