g) Such further and/or other orders and/or such further and/or other directions as this Hon'ble Court may deem fit and proper."

3.

In a nut shell the main grievance of the petitioner is with regard to the non consideration of a request dated 2.4.2025 made before the

respondent No. 3. The issue involved herein is the eviction of an unauthorized occupant being Sagarbhanga Colony post Office for occupying to flats in violation of the statutory norms.

4.

The learned counsel for the respondent vehemently opposes and takes the point of maintainability also submits that the property in question is a government property and the post office is running and serving the public at large. The flats in question are being let out to the postal authorities upon prior permission obtained from the government supremo of post office.

5.

In conspectus of the above, prima facie it appears that the petitioner has ventilated his own grievance under the garb of filing the instant PIL. 6.

The PIL is dismissed in limini.

7.

No order as to costs.
