...Petitioners

Versus

State of Punjab and others

...Respondents

Coram:

Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rakesh Kumar Jain

Present:

Mr. C.L. Premy, Advocate, for the petitioners.

**** Rakesh Kumar Jain, J. (ORAL) Admittedly, the petitioners were not the parties before the Court below in the proceedings initiated by the Gram Panchayat under Section 7 of the Punjab Village Common Lands (Regulation) Act, 1961 and are basically espousing the pubic cause. Thus, in the absence of any personal interest in the litigation, much-less the locus standi, the writ petition is not maintainable in its present form.

Faced with these observations, counsel for the petitioners prays for withdrawal of this petition with liberty to avail an appropriate remedy by filing a Public Interest Litigation.

Dismissed as withdrawn.

Liberty is granted.
