THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION NO.31216 OF 2010 DATED 16TH FEBRUARY, 2011 BETWEEN O.Yella Reddy …Petitioner And The District Collector, Kurnool District and others. …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION NO.31216 OF 2010 O R D E R The petitioner had earlier filed Writ Petition No.20354 of 2008 in public interest in respect of the vacant choultry land in Koilakuntla Gram Panchayat, Kurnool District, which was dismissed as infructuous by order dated 23.12.2009, recording the fact that the Koilakuntla Gram Panchayat, Kurnool District, had resumed the possession of the said land from the Mahammadeeya Sankshema Committee, Koilakuntla Town, Kurnool District, the fourth respondent herein. The present writ petition is filed assailing the action of the respondent authorities in not giving the said choultry land to the petitioner for development of a play ground for the school children, for construction of fixtures for hoisting the national flag and construction of a compound wall around the school building at his own cost. There is no recital in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition that the petitioner is acting pro bono publico. Having filed the earlier writ petition ostensibly in public interest, the petitioner cannot now stake a personal interest in the subject matter of the litigation. Upon a query from the Court, the learned counsel for the petitioner states that the petitioner is desirous of building a compound wall around the school at his own cost so as to protect the interest of the school and the children. If it is his intention to do so in public interest, he must necessarily file the case in the form of a public interest litigation. The Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed leaving it open to the petitioner to file a public interest litigation in accordance with the rules, if he so desires. No order as to costs. ---------------------------- SANJAY KUMAR, J. 16TH MARCH, 2011. Note: Issue C.C. in one week. B/O PGS/VGSR
