IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL CLMA No.10197/2010 in Writ Petition No. 2059 of 2010 (M/S) Smt. Bachi Devi W/o Sri Ravindra Prasad .. Petitioner Versus District Magistrate, Udham Singh Nagar and others … Respondents Mr. Lalit Sharma, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. P.C. Bisht, Brief Holder, on behalf of respondents 1 to 4. Mr. Dinesh Gahatauri, Advocate for respondent No.5. Mr. V.K. Kohli, Senior Advocate along with Mr. I.P. Kohli, Advocate for respondent No.6. (Hon’ble B.S. Verma, J. ) Heard Mr. Lalit Sharma, Advocate for the petitioner, Mr. P.C. Bisht, Brief Holder on behalf of respondents 1 to 4, Mr. Dinesh Gahatauri, Advocate for respondent No.5 and Mr. V.K. Kohli, Senior Advocate, assisted by Mr. I.P. Kohli, Advocate for respondent No.6. By means of this petition the petitioner has sought a writ in the nature of certiorari to quash the impugned order dated 30-10-2010, passed by respondent No.1, contained in Annexure No.6 to the writ petition, whereby ‘no objection certificate’ was granted in favour of respondent No.5.According to the petitioner, the only ground of challenge in this writ petition is that as per statutory guide-lines the distance between two petrol pumps should be 300 meters, while the ‘no objection certificate’ has been granted within a distance less than 300 meters, i.e. 90 meters. In support of his contention the petitioner has filed certificate of Tehsildar, as Annexure No.5 to the writ petition. In the impugned order the learned District Magistrate has mentioned that the distance is less than 300 meters, but the application was moved by the respondent No.5 prior to issuance of guide-lines of 2009. The petitioner has pleaded in the writ petition that as per the norms for the access for fuel stations, service stations and rest areas along national highways, issued on 25-09-2003, the distance between the two petrol pumps has been kept 300 meters. Prima facie the ‘no 2 objection certificate’ has been issued without examining the earlier guide-lines. Therefore, till next date of listing operation and effect of the impugned order shall remain stayed. The interim relief application stands disposed of. Counter be filed by the respondents in three weeks. List after three weeks. Dated: 07-12-2010 (B.S. Verma, J. ) ISB
