The parties are always at liberty to approach the Civil Court to get their rights adjudicated. A reference can be made to the decision of the Apex Court in the matter of Balwant Singh & Another V/s. Daulat Singh reported in 1997(7) SCC 137. SSK/928 2 WP.7373.09 3. In that view of the matter, I am not inclined to entertain the petition and interfere with the impugned order in writ jurisdiction of this Court under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. The writ petition is, therefore, dismissed. (RANJIT MORE, J.)
