IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Writ Petition (PIL) No. 13 of 2010 Indira Nagar Residents Association and others …….…… Petitioners Versus State of Uttarakhand and others …....……. Respondents Present: Mr. Subhash Upadhyay, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. K. P. Upadhyay, Addl. Chief Standing Counsel for respondent No.1. Mr. K.S. Mehta, Advocate for respondent No.3. Coram:- Hon’ble Barin Ghosh, Chief Justice Hon’ble V.K. Bist, Judge Date of Decision : 16.09.2010 Barin Ghosh, C. J. (Oral) The matter complained of in the writ petition is alteration of a layout plan-map of 1982 in the year 1994, whereby many a plots ear-marked for public purposes were converted into residential plots. It has not been contended that while the 1994 alteration was made, the same was not made in accordance with law. Primarily that being the contention in the writ petition, we do not think that we can go into this matter, inasmuch as the writ petition was filed in the year 2010, whereas the alteration in the layout plan of 1982 was effected in 1994 and on the basis thereof certain legal interests had been vested in many a people in many parts of the land covered by the said altered layout plan-map and they have been permitted to enjoy such interests for a long period of time in excess of almost 16 years. In the circumstances, as prayed for, we permit the petitioners to withdraw the writ petition with liberty to them to re- approach the Court in the event there is breach of the altered layout plan-map effected in the year 1994.
