CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION PUBLIC INTEREST LITIGATION NO. 17 OF 2019 Arun s/o. Kisanrao Veer ... Petitioner V/s.

The State of Maharashtra and Ors.

... Respondents.

None for the Petitioner.

Mr. M.M. Pabale, AGP for the Respondent - State. CORAM : PRADEEP NANDRAJOG,C.J. & N.M. JAMDAR, J.

DATE : 22 APRIL 2019.

P.C. :- None appears for the Petitioner. Rather than to dismiss the Writ Petition in default, we propose to dismiss the same by denying the Petitioner to right to file a Public Interest Litigation. 2.

As pleaded in the Petition the Petitioner is an accused for offence punishable under Section 143, 323, 504 and 506 of the Indian Penal Code, for offence punishable under Section 135 of the

29. PIL 17.19.doc Bombay Police Act, for offence punishable under Section 66 of the Information Technology Act and under Section 3 of the Prevention of Atrocities against S.C. and S.T. Act. The second reason why the Petition is being dismissed is a very funny claim made that out of the 24 Km. stretch of State highway No.124 segment from Walchandnagar to Dalas having length 12 Km. belongs to Respondent No.5.

3.

How a National highway can belong to a private industry ?

4.

The Petition is dismissed.

N.M. JAMDAR, J.
