P.C. : This is an application for intervention. The main writ petition is filed by Gram Panchayat, village Dapode, Tq.Bhiwandi, Dist.Thane through Sarpanch. The learned counsel for intervenor pointed out that the applicants have already filed a Public Interest Litigation No.67 of 2009 for restoring the lake in village Dapode, but, because of the pendency of this writ petition a stand is taken by the Tahsildar that as the Writ Petition No.8193 of 2008 is pending, he is not in a position to restore the lake to its original position. Considering this aspect, in our view, the present application is required to be allowed by permitting present applicants to join as respondents in the said writ petition as, being villagers, they are also equally interested in restoring the lake. Learned counsel for petitioners 387-10.sxw 2 also not seriously agitated this application. 2] In view of above, Civil Application is allowed. Applicants are permitted to intervene in the writ petition. The cause title of the writ petition be amended within two weeks from today. [R.G. KETKAR, J.] [P.B. MAJMUDAR, J.] 387-10.sxw
