IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.16871 of 2010 BANWARI LAL DALANIYA, Son of Late Prabhu Dayal Dalaniya, Resident of Manaskamnanath Chowk, K.B.Lal Road, P.S. Nath Nagar, District Bhagalpur …… Petitioner Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. The Secretary, Ministry of Home, Govt. of Bihar 3. The Secretary, Public Health Engineering Department, Govt. of Bihar 4. The Commissioner, Bhagalpur 5. The District Magistrate, Bhagalpur 6. The principal, Constables Training School, Nathnagar, P.S., Nathnagar, District Bhagalpur 7. The Superintendent of Police, Bhagalpur 8. The Superintending Engineer, P.W.D. Building Division, Bhagalpur …… Respondents ----------- 4 16.12.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. This public interest litigation has been preferred by the petitioner for directing the respondent authorities of the State to implement the decision taken in a meeting held in the chambers of Collector, Bhagalpur on 25.2.1977, the minutes whereof are annexed as Annexure 1. The main concern of the petitioner is that an easy approach to a temple situated near Constable Training School in Nathnagar, Bhagalpur is being obstructed by construction of a boundary wall for the said school in the year 2008. 2 The stand of the respondents on affidavit is that the boundary wall was required in view of growing menace of naxals in the area. In paragraph 20 of the counter affidavit, it has been highlighted that the temple in question is well connected by different roads with mohallas around it. Its campus is only 300 meters away from N.H. 80 and connected with a sufficiently wide and motorable road. Without going into merit of the issue, whether the decision in the meeting held in Collector’s chambers has legal sanctity or not, we find that construction of boundary wall made in the year 2008 needs no interference in public interest. Writ petition is, therefore, dismissed. If the petitioner has any other suggestion for the welfare of the public using temple or nearby places he would be at liberty to approach the District Magistrate, Bhagalpur, so that his suggestion may be looked into.
