1.
This writ petition has been filed inter alia for issuance of a writ in the nature of mandamus for directing official respondents No.1 to 4 to take appropriate action against private respondents No.5 and 6 for raising an illegal construction. 2.
Counsel for the petitioner states that the petitioner is resident of Ward No.1 Lalwa, District Palwal, Haryana. He alleges that private respondents have dug a swimming pool and constructed a factory shed as well as office on an agricultural land even though permission for change of land stood declined by respondent No.6. He submits that a person accidentally fell in the pool and was drowned and a complaint (Annexure P-1) was given to the police authorities. He has also made a reference to the post-mortem report and the Forensic Science report (Annexures P-2 and P-3) respectively. It is his assertion that despite KUMARI SAPNA 2026.03.16 16.17 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document
CWP-7288-2026 repeated complaints and representations, no action has been taken. 3.
Having heard counsel for the petitioner, this Court is of the opinion that writ petition is not the remedy available to the petitioner. In case any unauthorized construction has been raised by the private respondents or they are creating any public nuisance, remedy available to her is to approach the civil Court. A criminal case regarding the incident of drowning is pending before the competent Court at Palwal. This Court is not inclined to exercise the extra-ordinary writ jurisdiction vested in it under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. 4.
Writ petition is dismissed. Liberty is given to the petitioner to seek recourse to the remedy available to her in accordance in law. (SUVIR SEHGAL) JUDGE (DEEPAK MANCHANDA) JUDGE 11.03.2026 sapna Whether speaking/reasoned :
