Sakhare, Sr. Advocate with Mr. Siddharth Karpe for Respondent No.7. Mr. B. G. Ahuja, Intervenor present-in-person. CORAM: BILAL NAZKI and A. P. DESHPANDE, JJ. DATED : 2ND APRIL, 2008. P. C.: A short controversy is raised in this petition and we do not think any public interest is involved. The petitioner came to this Court complaining that respondent No.7 had occupied the land which belonged to the Government and was reserved for water reservoir and had constructed a huge building over the land. Respondent No.7' s case is that the land is allotted to him under the Displaced Persons Act as respondent No.7 has migrated from parts of the country which are now parts of the Pakistan 2 after partition of the country. The intervention application has been made by the intervenor who made certain submissions. 2. We feel these are questions which can be addressed by the Competent Authority. If anybody including the petitioner is aggrieved that the land should not have been assigned or allotted, there are remedies available to him. If the intervenor has any grievance, he can also approach the concerned authority. If the petitioner or the intervenor makes any grievance before any appropriate authority, that appropriate authority may decide the matter on merits. 3. The petition is, accordingly, dismissed. 4. All contentions raised by the petitioner can be raised by him before the appropriate authority as we have not gone into the merits of the case. 5. In view of the disposal of the petition itself, the civil application does not survive and is dismissed as such. Sd/- (BILAL NAZKI, J.) Sd/- (A. P. DESHPANDE, J.)
