1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE, BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO. 556 OF 2010 Sk. Musa Sk. Nadar and others ...Petitioners Versus The Union of India and others ...Respondents ..... Mr. S.V. Gangapurwala h/f Mr. A.K. Tiwari, advocate for the petitioner Mr. Alok Sharma, Standing Counsel for respondent Nos.1 to 3. ..... CORAM: A.M. KHANWILKAR & S.S. SHINDE, JJ. DATED: 8TH FEBRUARY, 2010 PER COURT:- 1 Heard counsel for the parties. Perused the decision of T.I.L.R. as well as appellate authority including the decision of the National Highway Tribunal. It has been concurrently found that structures in question are situated on CTS No. 5497(B) which belong to State Transport Corporation. The issue regarding removal of said structures has been pursued by the Authorities as back as from 1968, as is noticed from the order of the Revenue Authority dated 19.4.2008. The finding of fact recorded by the authorities is that the structures are situated in such way that they are obstructing the National Highway No.6. That finding of fact is founded on the joint measurement done at the instance of the M.S.R.T.C. 2 2 Learned counsel for the petitioners points out that the structures were not in fact obstructing the National Highway. He placed emphasis on the communication received by him under Right to Information Act after the decision of the Tribunal. Even that argument does not impress us. To reassure ourselves that structures are not in fact within the road line of National Highway No.6, we called upon the petitioners’ advocate to produce photographs of the said structures. Photographs tendered by the petitioners re-assures us that finding of fact recorded by the authorities below is just and proper and same does not merit any interference. The document now produced by the petitioners cannot be basis to answer the controversy in hand. In our opinion, no interference is warranted in the fact situation of the present case. The photographs tendered by the petitioners, through counsel, are taken on record. Petition dismissed. 3 At this stage, counsel for the petitioners prays for time for removal of structures. Since the structures are obstructing National Highway, there is no question of showing any indulgence but since the petitioners are inclined to take the matter further in appeal, we direct the parties to maintain status quo as of today, of the disputed structures for a period of four weeks from today.
