HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE C.HARI SHANKAR
JUDGMENT
1. This so-called Public Interest Litigation has been preferred with the following prayers:
Hon'ble Court an undertaking to the effect that all norms, guidelines and rules in respect of the safety of the general public are being adopted for the present work as also for other similar works.
2. Having heard the learned counsel appearing for both the sides and looking into the facts and circumstances of the case, it appears that this petitioner has ventilated the grievances about the manner in which the norms of the construction are being followed by the respondents. We see no reason to entertain this writ petition mainly for the reason that the construction norms are bound to be followed by the respondents in accordance with law, rules, regulations and Government policy applicable to the facts of the present case. Moreover, we see no reason to give any guidance to the respondents regarding change in the construction for the safety norms to be followed by the respondents. We expect from the respondents that the existing guidelines in this regard shall be strictly followed by them in accordance with law for the construction in question.
3. With the aforesaid observation, this writ petition is hereby disposed of. C.M.No.48/2020 (stay)
4. In view of the final order passed in W.P.(C) 13/2020, this application stands disposed of.
