"That this application on behalf of the petitioner is being filed in Public Interest for issuance of an appropriate writ, order or direction directing the respondent authorities not to cut about 20,000= trees for construction of Electronic Building although there is vacant land measuring an area of about 50 Acres situated adjacent to proposed Building Construction at village Dev Gaon."
Patna High Court CWJC No.12455 of 2025(2) dt.18-09-2025 2/2
2. Prima facie, the petitioner has not produced any material to show that there is a proposal for construction of Electronic Building in a particular place where 20,000 trees are existing and they are likely to be uprooted. In the absence of such material, we have to draw inference that the present public interest litigation is premature. Accordingly, the present writ petition stands disposed of as premature, reserving liberty to invoke remedy with reference to cause of action, if so advised. (P. B.
