HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Writ Petition No.58 of 2010 (PIL) Gurdeep Kaur & another …Petitioners Versus State of Uttarakhand & others ...Respondents Dated : August 19th 2010 Coram: Hon’ble Barin Ghosh, C.J. Hon’ble V.K. Bist, J. Hon’ble Barin Ghosh, C.J. (Oral) Mr. H.S. Dhillon, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. J.P. Joshi, Chief Standing Counsel for respondent nos.1 to 6. Mr. Vipul Sharma, Advocate for respondent nos.7 & 8. 2. From annexure 8 to the writ petition it appears that Sub Divisional Officer concerned being the Competent Authority under the U.P. Regulation of Buildings Operation Act, 1958 has already taken appropriate action, although there is averment in the petition that subsequent to the said order further constructions have been made and to substantiate the same reliance has been placed on photographs but from the photographs we have not been able to locate any construction activity or that the said photographs have been taken subsequent to the order dated 8th July, 2010. That being the situation and taking into account the counter affidavit filed on behalf of respondent nos.2, 3 & 4, which 2 includes Sub Divisional Officer concerned, to the effect that appropriate actions are being taken, we think the purpose of this public interest litigation has served and there is nothing further to be done in this public interest litigation. The same is accordingly, disposed of. Let the authorities concerned deal with the matter strictly in accordance with law. 3. Permission is granted to Mr. Vipul Sharma, Advocate to file Vakalatnama in Court on behalf of respondents no.7 & 8. (V.K.Bist, J.) (Barin Ghosh, C.J.) 19.08.2010 Arti
