1 D.B.Civil Writ Petition No.627/2010 Bachint Bir Singh V/s The State of Rajasthan & ors. 10.5.2010 Hon'ble the Chief Justice Mr.Jagdish Bhalla Hon'ble Mr.Justice M.N.Bhandari Mr.Pratap Singh for Mr.Amardeep Atwal for petitioner. Mr.R.P.Singh, Addl.Advocate General for respondents. This public interest litigation has been filed alleging construction of road as well as illegal mining in the Ranthambore National Park, which was declared as National Park under section 35 of the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972 (hereinafter referred to as “the Act”). Even in the southern side of the Ranthambore National Park, there exists Keladevi Sanctuary, which was declared as Sanctuary under section 18 of the Act. The learned Additional Advocate General Mr.R.P.Singh submits that the construction of road was stopped even before filing of the writ petition. The aforesaid construction was started as the land is recorded as sawai chak, but for the reason that it is falling in the corridor area of the National Park, construction has not been taken up. So far as the mining is concerned, it is permitted only in those areas which are 500 meters away from the corridor area of the National Park and that too under due lease granted by the Mining Department. Other than that, no illegal mining exists in the area or nearby to it. 2 In view of the statement of the learned Addl.Advocate General, nothing more is required to be decided in this petition as the grievance of the petitioner has been redressed. Accordingly, this public interest litigation stands disposed of, in light of the statement made by the learned Addl.Advocate General, (M.N.Bhandari)J. (Jagdish Bhalla)C.J. Parmar
