P.C.:
We are inclined to dispose of present Public Interest Litigation specifically, in view of order dated 1 April 2014 whereby this Court permitted to delete the name of Petitioner Nos.2 to 5, who are the owners of the property in question. The Petitioner No.1 has no concern with this acquisition except being a social worker, at whose instance in view of above, we are not inclined to entertain the constitutional challenge to the Petroleum And Minerals Pipelines (Acquisition of Right of User Inland) Act, 1962.
