1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JODHPUR O R D E R S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.2699/2009 (Municipal Board, Dungarpur Vs. State of Raj. & Ors.) Date of order : 08.04.2009 P R E S E N T HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GOPAL KRISHAN VYAS Mr. Bheem Arora, for the petitioner. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. This writ petition has been filed Municipal Board, Dungarpur through its Executive Officer for seeking following directions : “1] The respondents be directed not to interfere in any manner in the affairs of petitioner Municipal Board in disposing of strip land/stray plots in Shivaji Nagar Avasiya scheme, Dungarpur; 2] the respondent-Housing Board may also be directed for future, not to dispose of strip land/stray plots, lying in Shivaji Nagar Avasiya Scheme, Dungarpur, which has already been handed over to the petitioner-Municipal Board; 3] the respondent-Housing Board may also kindly be directed to refrain from acting in 2 any manner in respect of strip lands/stray plots leased out and constructions raised with due permission by petitioner-Municipal Board.” Strangely enough, the petitioner – Municipal Board, which is autonomous body is seeking directions against the other autonomous body of State which is Rajasthan Housing Board. In my opinion, in view of Section 296 of Rajasthan Municipalities Act, the petitioner autonomous body is required to invoke the remedy available under the Act for the purpose of relief as sought for in this writ petition. No case for interference under Article 226 of the Constitution of India is made out. Hence, the writ petition is dismissed. (GOPAL KRISHAN VYAS), J. arun
