Supplementary Affidavit filed today be kept on record. 2. Heard Sri Deepak Kumar Srivastava learned counsel for the petitioner, Sri Pranjal Mehrotra learned counsel for the Awas Vikash Parishad, U.P., Lucknow, and the learned Standing Counsel. 3. For the same relief which has been made in this writ petition, a civil suit has been filed being Original Suit No. 306 of 2005. The prayer no. 1 of the writ petition is that the respondent - Awas Vikas be restrained from selling the agricultural land comprised in plot no. 193 area 0.534 hectare. A further prayer is that no construction be made on the plot in question. Likewise, the prayer is the civil suit was that the defendant Awas Vikas be injuncted from interfering in the possession of the petitioner. In effect, we find that the prayers made both in the writ petition and in the suit are of a similar nature. 4. Thus, we are of the view that the writ petition cannot be entertained simply on the ground that a civil suit for the same relief is already pending. 5. The Petitioner may, thus, continue to pursue the remedy as has been availed of by filing of the civil suit. 6.
