1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY ORDINARY ORIGINAL CIVIL JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 367 OF 2008 Laxman Waman Thakur. ..... ..... Petitioner. Versus Municipal Commissioner for Greater Mumbai & Ors. ...... ..... Respondents. Mr. J. G. Damania for the Petitioner. Mr. N. A. Shaikh for Respondent Nos.1 and 2. Mr. S. A. Joshi, AGP for Respondent Nos.3 and 4. CORAM: BILAL NAZKI and A. P. DESHPANDE, JJ. DATED : 4TH APRIL, 2008. P. C.: By this petition, the petitioner wants a direction to respondent Nos.1 to 4 to comply with the earlier order and directions passed by this Court in Writ Petition No. 2063 of 2002 to remove or demolish the unauthorised and illegal shrine / temple of Shri Sai Baba so illegally and unauthorisedly erected by respondent No.5 on a piece of land belonging to the Government. This is the only relief claimed in this writ petition. 2. We have seen the order of this Court passed in Writ Petition No. 2063 of 2002. It appears that in a public interest litigation the court got 2 identified the unauthorised and illegal shrines and structures existing on road, lane, footpath and public land as on 21st June, 2006 and thereafter ordered their demolition. The present structure was not one of the identified structures as were ordered to be demolished by this court. Therefore, the direction given in the earlier writ petition cannot be applied to the present structure. 3. We find that there is a personal dispute between the petitioner and respondent No.5, who had a right of way over a piece of land which according to the petitioner belongs to the Government. This is exclusively a private dispute and can be dealt with by a civil court, if it is approached. This petition is, therefore, devoid of merit and is dismissed as such. 4. However, the petitioner is at liberty to take any other remedies that may be available to him in law. Sd/- (BILAL NAZKI, J.) Sd/- (A. P. DESHPANDE, J.)
