Mr ML Patil, for the Nashik Municipal Corporation. CORAM: S.C. DHARMADHIKARI & G.S. PATEL, JJ DATED: 24th June 2019 PC:- 1. The petitioners are admitting that the Municipal Corporation of Nashik has indeed taken action against the encroachers and removed them. Even their structures are razed to the ground. That they are repeatedly coming back at site and encroaching again and again on land not belonging and not vesting in the Municipal Corporation is no ground at all to interfere. It would not enable us to go on monitoring the situation at site. 2. Anybody aggrieved and dissatisﬁed with an incomplete action of the Municipal Corporation is free to approach the competent Court. We do not think that a Civil Court is so powerless that it cannot take any cognizance of the complaints of the nature made in this petition. We do not think approaching this Court by ﬁling a Public Interest Litigation would provide a complete redress. We do not think that we should entertain any of these petitions or continue to monitor the activity of removal of encroachments at the site any further. 3. All the petitions are, therefore, disposed of. Page 2 of 3 24th June 2019 25-ASWP9399-12+.DOC 4. All civil applications do not survive in the light of disposal of the writ petition and the same are disposed of. (S.C. DHARMADHIKARI, J) (G. S. PATEL, J) Page 3 of 3 24th June 2019
