ANSARI) Date: 10-12-2015 This is an application, made under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, in the nature of Public Interest Litigation, seeking inter alia issuance of a writ in the nature of Mandamus directing the respondents authorities to allow purchase and sale by way of registered sale-deed of land of land holders of Mauza Dawa, Khata No.1591, Plot Nos.901 to 910, under jurisdiction of the respondent No.4.

Patna High Court CWJC No.19758 of 2014 dt.10-12-2015 2/2 Additional Advocate General-14, appearing on behalf of the respondents.
Having perused the writ petition and the materials on record, we find that this application is completely misconceived in law inasmuch as the grievances expressed do not relate to public in general, but demonstrates the grievances of only those few persons who may be interested in getting the sale deed registered. Such a grievance cannot be raised and decided in a Public Interest Litigation. It would remain, however, open to the individuals concerned, who may feel aggrieved by non-registration of their saledeed, to take recourse to appropriate provisions of law. With the above observations and conclusions, the writ application shall stand closed.
