This writ petition has been filed for issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus directing the respondents not to acquire/interfere in the peaceful possession of the petitioners’ Bhumidhari land in Khasra No. 6171 to 6185 and in Khasra No. 6188, 6179 to 6197 situated in village Timla Bagar Post and Tehsil Kapkot, District Bageshwar. The petitioners have an alternate remedy to file civil suit. The prayer made in the writ petition is in the nature of injunction. Since disputed question of fact are involved in this writ petition, therefore, by way of mandamus, the petitioners cannot seek injunction. 2 On the ground of alternate remedy, I am not inclined to entertain the writ petition. The writ petition is dismissed in limine. However, the petitioners may file civil suit for redressal of their grievance. All pending applications stand disposed of. ( B.S.Verma, J. ) RCP 3
