Paragraphs 8 and 11 of the counter affidavit leave no manner of doubt that the construction of public road at one side of Aahar is not going to affect the irrigation facility available to the villagers, rather, the embankment of the Aahar is going to be strengthened. In our view, opposition on behalf of the petitioner to construction of a public road is against public interest and hence, this writ petition, by way of public interest litigation, is dismissed. If petitioner’s any right is affected, he will be at liberty to pursue his remedy through appropriate proceeding including a properly constituted suit individually or representative in nature.
