Raturi, Standing Counsel for respondent Nos. 1 & 3. Mr. Rajendra Dobhal, Senior Advocate with Mr. D.C.S. Rawat, Advocate for respondent No.2. Mr. Siddhartha Sah and Mr. K.N. Joshi, Advocates for the interveners. Coram:- Hon’ble Mr. Justice Barin Ghosh, Chief Justice Hon’ble Mr. Justice V.K. Bist, Judge Date: 18.08.2010 JUDGMENT Barin Ghosh, C. J. (Oral) There are two plots of land in the city/town of Nainital which belong to Nagar Palika Parishad. On these two plots of land, two independent structures had been constructed facilitating user thereof for projecting cinematography films for entertainment of people paying tickets for being entertained thus. Those two structures were not being used for the purpose for which the same had been constructed. In the present writ petition, in the name of a Public Interest Litigation, the petitioner is seeking this Court to direct Nagar Palika Parishad to restore cinema business in those two structures. We have great doubt in our mind, whether public can at all be interested in the manner it has been projected in the writ petition. Be that at it may, since the writ petition has been accepted by this Court, we feel it appropriate to dispose of the same by directing Nagar Palika Parishad, Nainital to utilize the plots of land in question with or without the structures constructed thereon in the best possible manner and to the best use of the public as it may deem fit. 2 The intervention application also stands disposed of. The attendance of the officers of Nagar Palika Parishad, Nainital is dispensed with. ( V.K. Bist, J.) ( Barin Ghosh, C.J.) 18.08.2010 P. Singh
