1 S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.6917/2010 Baldev Singh and Ors. Vs. State of Rajasthan and Ors. DATE OF ORDER : 27.7.2010 HON'BLE MR. GOVIND MATHUR, J. Mr. Hemant Dutt, for the petitioners. By this petition for writ, a challenge is given to the Certificate Annexure-1 issued by the Gram Panchayat, Ayalki, entering a piece of land measuring 50' x 40' in the name of Bharat Nirman Rajeev Gandhi Seva Kendra. A permission is also granted by the Gram Panchayat for raising construction to the institution, in favour of whom the land is recorded. The contention of the learned counsel for the petitioners is that as approval of the State Government was taken by the Gram Panchayat as per Rule 162 of the Rajasthan Panchayati Raj Rules, 1996 (for short 'the Rules of 1996' hereinafter) before recording / allotment of land in favour of Bharat Nirman Rajeev Gandhi Seva Kendra. It is also contended that an alternative land is available with the respondent Gram Panchayat to allot the 2 same to Bharat Nirman Rajeev Gandhi Seva Kendra without disturbing the existing school campus. The petitioners are seeking a writ in the nature of mandamus and for that making demand to the authority competent before approaching the Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India is a condition precedent. In the instant matter no such demand has been made by the petitioners. In view of it, I am not inclined to interfere in the matter at this stage, accordingly, the petition for writ is dismissed. On failing to get the grievances redressed at administrative level, the petitioners' shall be at liberty to avail appropriate remedy. (GOVIND MATHUR)J. RM/
