C.W.P No. 19930 OF 2010 ****** Naresh Kumar and others vs. Permanent Lok Adalat and others Present : Mr. Binderjit Singh, Advocate for the petitioners. ******* This dispute is essentially between two sets of residents of the same Mohalla. As per the petitioners the water supply augmentation was done only for their houses and, therefore, the contention of the private respondents that they should also be given the benefit of augmentation, was illegal. In my opinion no such right exists in any citizen to contend that any particular civic amenity should be restrictedly released only to him and to none other. Just as the petitioners require potable water so do the private respondents. Therefore, the stand of the petitioners that the augmentation was only for their benefit and the respondents should not get any water from that augmented supply cannot be countenanced. Learned counsel has further argued that in the impugned order the Lok Adalat has also similarly restricted the benefit of the fresh augmentation to the private respondents. In my opinion such a benefit could not have been given to the private respondents also. Therefore, while dismissing this writ petition it is clarified that the benefit of augmentation cannot be restricted to any citizen, be it the petitioners or the private respondents.
