For the Petitioner/s : Mr. RABI BHUSHAN For the Respondent/s : Mr. S.S.PRASAD =========================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE KISHORE KUMAR MANDAL ORAL JUDGMENT Date: 03-10-2016 Heard the counsel for the petitioner and the State. In short, the grievance of the petitioner is that the Aangan Bari Centre No.83 for the Panchayat within Halsi Block in the district of Lakhisarai is not being constructed according to the guidelines governing the same. The respondents are taking steps to construct the Centre at a location which would not benefit the area for which it is being constructed. The State respondent, on the other hand, in the counter affidavit states that the said Aagan Bari Centre is being constructed near Sanskrit Middle School, Pratapur on a 'no objection certificate' granted by the Headmaster of the said school. The construction is already underway. The land proposed by the petitioner was not considered fit for the location of the Centre. Few reasons have been stated in the counter affidavit therefor.

Patna High Court CWJC No.4654 of 2014 dt.03-10-2016 2/2 Where the Aangan Bari Centre shall be located or constructed is an issue which the Court would be reluctant to examine in the writ jurisdiction. Indisputably, such construction if at all is regulated by the guidelines. If the petitioner has any such grievance that could have been ventilated before the authority competent to decide such dispute. In view of aforesaid, this Court declines any relief.

The writ application is disposed of granting the petitioner liberty to ventilate his grievance before the appropriate forum/authority in accordance with law. Needless to observe if any such application/petition is filed, the same shall receive due consideration and disposal at the hands of the concerned authority at the earliest.
