JUSTICE CHAKRADHARI SHARAN SINGH ORAL ORDER (Per: HONOURABLE THE ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE ) 10-08-2015 In this public interest litigation, the reliefs sought for are similar to those in earlier filed public interest litigations and those writ petitions were summarily rejected on the ground that petitioner has not availed the alternative remedy under Bihar Public Land Encroachment Act, 1956.

In the above backdrop, we are not inclined to entertain the application, more so, when the petitioner has alternative remedy also in the form of the provisions embodied in Section 133 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973.

In view of the above and in the interest of justice, this

Patna High Court CWJC No.16906 of 2014 (3) dt.10-08-2015 2/2 public interest litigation application stands dismissed. (I.A. Ansari, ACJ.) (Chakradhari Sharan Singh, J.) Mkr./- U
