Factual Report
S. B. Civil Writ Petition no. 16675/2021
Respected Sir,
The Factual Report on behalf Respondents in the S.B. Civil Writ Petition no.
16675/2021 pending before the Hon’ble High Court Jodhpur is as follows:
That in the present facts of the case as well, post inaction by the
owners of the buildings after receiving due notice under S. 243
of the act, the Respondent no. 3 is empowered by the law to
undertake the requested actions in the notice all by itself or
otherwise take preventive actions as mentioned before.
Therefore, may it be emphasised that in the present case as well,
the Respondent no. 3 are not barred to take preventive actions
which are not in the form of demolition or alterations in the
building structure. Hence, may it be humbly requested before
this court that Respondent no. 3 be allowed to take requisite
action with a view to avert potential damage to public well-
being arising out of the currently dangerous and ruinous status of
the said buildings.
F. With respect to ground F:
o The Petitioners have gravely erred in anointing the mala fide
against the respondents without even establishing any prima
facie case in their favor and obtaining the order of stay on the
operation of impugned order by misleading this Hon’ble Court
against the Respondents. May it be submitted that the
Respondents consist of State government as well as its
functionaries who are cooperatively working to deliver upon
their bounden duty of public service and good governance by
efficiently acting upon the public grievances registered by the
citizens of the state as well as promptly take action on them with
a view to serve the recourse of the grievance expeditiously.
o The Petitioners have wickedly tried to project these government
instrumentalities interested in private disputes and thus
unwarrantedly favoring certain private parties. The Respondents
take strong objection to such illegitimate aspersions cast against
their credibility. May it be vehemently stated that the impugned
order was passed in accordance of the rules and regulation and in
fact it was a speaking order, premised on the cogent information
rendered to it by the Municipal Council, Hanumangarh. The
directives issued therein were also issued in the public interest
after observing the importance of the issue, the imminent risk
involved and the delayed actions of the Municipal Council to
eradicate the risk.
o The catalogue of previous litigations cited by the Petitioners are
private in nature, relief sought therein are in personnam and
therefore are extraneously inconsequential to the present cause
of action. The direction issued by Respondent no. 2 vide the
impugned order has been made by exercising his unfettered
powers as the chairman of the ‘Removal of Public Grievance
Committee-cum-Vigilance Committee’ which remain
unprejudiced by the private civil litigation pertaining to the title,
tenancy, etc between the private parties as well as other
recourses opted by the Petitioner in their individual capacities.
The main objective of the Committee/ Respondent no. 2 remains
the same i.e. alleviation of the public grievance and safeguard
the public security and safety, for which the directed issued by
him in the impugned orders stands firm on the threshold of
legality.
****
In view of the aforementioned factual report, it is humbly requested that while
presenting the side of respondent 3 before the Hon'ble Court, kindly request for
obtaining an order that till the final decision of the said petition, the Municipal
Council, Hanumangarh may be allowed to make appropriate arrangements for
the safety of passers-by from the shops in question, by erecting hoardings and
fences in accordance of the provisions of Rajasthan Municipalities Act, 2009.
