Heard Sri G.Kalyan Chakravarthy, learned counsel for the petitioners and perused the record. The only grievance of the petitioners in this writ petition is that in front of their business premises, the respondents are seeking to erect the statue of Dr. Babu Jagjeevan Ram. The petitioners ﬁled photographs, a perusal of which shows that the statue is proposed to be erected at a corner of the road margin, which admittedly, belongs to R&B Department. The petitioners are not the owners of the said property and photographs produced by the petitioners clearly show that placement of the statue does not in any manner aﬀect the ingress and egress to petitioners’ premises. None of the rights of the petitioners are violated by the proposed erection of the statue. Therefore, the writ petition is wholly misconceived and is accordingly dismissed.
