Respondent/s =========================================================== For the Petitioner/s : Mr Upendra Kumar Singh, Advocate For the Respondent/s : Mr Firoz Ahmad, AC to AAG 12 =========================================================== CORAM: HON'BLE MR JUSTICE NAVANITI PRASAD SINGH And HON'BLE JUSTICE SMT NILU AGRAWAL ORAL JUDGMENT (Per: HONOURABLE MR JUSTICE NAVANITI PRASAD SINGH) Date: 24-10-2016 On perusal of the writ petition, it is clear that it is not a Public Interest Litigation rather it is a Publicity Interest Litigation. The petitioner has no cause which he is seeking to pursue. He alleges that farmers are not being given land possession certificates. In our view, if the farmers are not getting the land possession certificates from the authorities, it is for the farmers to agitate the same before appropriate authorities. They are vigilant of their rights. Such proxy litigation cannot be permitted. This application is, accordingly, dismissed.
