The petitioner has filed this petition only after his unauthorised structure came to be demolished. Considering the overall pleadings in the petition, this is a personal interest litigation rather than public interest litigation. As the petitioner has further 2 pleaded that the premises which have been demolished was used by the petitioner for carrying on business and was purchased under a registered deed of conveyance from one Smt. Suman Pandurang Ubhe and Shyam Dhondiba Gawde, nothing prevents the petitioner from claiming damages from the persons who had sold the unauthorised structure to the petitioner. Therefore, we do not find any justification in entertaining the petition as public interest litigation. The Petition is, therefore, dismissed. (J.N.PATEL,J.) (J.N.PATEL,J.) (J.N.PATEL,J.)
