Case brief
What is this about?
Rajasthan High Court Jaipur Bench, S.B. Civil Writ Petition No. 10544/2014, order dated 08/05/2025 by Justice Anoop Kumar Dhand. Petitioners (khatedars of khasra No. 3579, Deorala, Srimadhopur, Sikar) sought restraint against PWD/PMGSY respondents and contractor Balbeer Singh Construction Company from building a public road through or evicting them from khatedari land khasra No. 3579. On respondents' counsel's statement that road construction would occur on khasra No. 3582 (adjacent to khasra Nos. 3570 and 3578) and not through khasra No. 3579, the Court dismissed the petition as infructuous for want of surviving cause of action, with liberty to pursue appropriate forum, and dismissed the stay and pending applications. Keywords: khatedari land, road construction, khasra 3579, PMGSY, Public Works Department Rajasthan, infructuous writ petition.
What did the court decide?
No substantive relief; petitioners granted liberty to approach the appropriate forum by way of an appropriate application in case any cause of action or grievance still survives.
