IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.21167 of 2010 Mahi Pal Singh Vs. State of Haryana & others Present: Mr.Vivek Khatri, Advocate, for the petitioner. ***** RANJIT SINGH, J. The petitioner prays for issuance of writ of mandamus for conducting the vigilance enquiry in regard to the development work, which is being conducted or has been conducted in the village, which has been declared to be Model village. The construction is being done by private constructing agency. The grievance of the petitioner is that the agency is misutilising the huge Government/public amount by using low class material in the development work. The petitioner being a villager says that he will have a locus to maintain such a petition and to seek enquiry into this. The petitioner so far has approached the Deputy Commissioner only. It is a private contractor, who has undertaken the work. It is for the Government to ensure proper construction and that proper material is being used. The petitioner ought to approach the Government or the authority supervising the construction. Court is not an appropriate forum to oversee construction being done by private contractor. I am, therefore, not inclined to interfere in this writ petition. The petitioner, however, would be at liberty to invoke his alternative remedy, if otherwise available to him. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. January 06, 2011 ( RANJIT SINGH ) ramesh JUDGE
