For the State: Mr. Rajesh Kr. Verma, AC to SC XI. =================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE And HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE JYOTI SARAN ORAL ORDER (Per: HONOURABLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE) 3. 28.10.2010. This petition under Article 226 of the Constitution is filed by one Soni Devi in public interest. What is complained about is encroachment on a road by private individual. The learned Advocate has filed a supplementary affidavit to place the revenue map of the concerned area on the record and the report of the Sub-Divisional Magistrate, East Muzaffarpur. On perusal of the report and the map it is evident that the dispute is in respect of a private lane leading to the main road. The dispute in respect of a private lane cannot be agitated in public interest. If at all the petitioner or anyone else has a right of passage on the said lane, the remedy lies elsewhere. The present petition filed in public interest is thoroughly misconceived. Hence, rejected. Dilip ( R.M. Doshit, CJ ) ( Jyoti Saran, J )
