CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RANJAN GOGOI, CHIEF JUSTICE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment ? 2. Whether to be referred to the Reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Present : Mr. N.K.Suneja, Advocate, for the petitioners. **** RANJAN GOGOI, C.J.(Oral) The grievance highlighted in this Public Interest Litigation is with regard to the use of link roads passing through villages Nawazpur, Partap-pur and Lakkar, Tehsil Chhachhrauli, situated in the District Yamuna Nagar. According to the PIL-petitioners, the said village roads are being used by heavy commercial vehicles and trailers ferrying mining materials which is endangering the life of the school going children and also disrupting the peaceful atmosphere and environment of the villages in question. The PIL-petitioners have further stated that they had made representations to all the concerned in the matter which representations have, however, evoked no response. Hence, the petitioners are left with no other remedy but to approach this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India by instituting the present PIL. CWP No. 21984 of 2011 [2] We have looked into the pleadings and have heard learned counsel for the petitioners. It is our considered view that if the statements made in the writ petition are accepted to be true, the petitioners would have a reasonable basis for the grievances expressed. However, considering the fact that representations have been filed before the appropriate authorities which are still pending and such authorities at the ground level are the primary authorities to deal with the matter, we refrain from going into the issues raised in this PIL and instead direct the petitioners to file fresh representations before the Deputy Commissioner, Yamuna Nagar and District Transport Authority, Yamuna Nagar within a period of seven days highlighting the grievances raised herein. The aforesaid two authorities will look into the matter and pass appropriate orders within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of the representations to be filed by the petitioners. Thereafter, if the petitioners have any further grievance, it will be open for them to approach this Court challenging the orders to be passed. PIL shall stand disposed of in the above terms.
