Holding
The court held that the respondents must not construct the chakroad over the petitioner's land covered by Gata No. 664.
Summary
The petitioner, Brijesh Kumar, filed a writ petition alleging that the State and other respondents had marked his agricultural land (Gata No. 664) for the construction of a chakroad, which he contended should be laid in the adjoining Gata No. 641. The petitioner claimed that his land was under cultivation and that no road work had been authorized there. The respondents, through written instructions from the Block Development Officer, asserted that no chakroad had been constructed in Gata No. 664, that the land was currently sown with paddy, and that the road was not part of any work plan. After considering the submissions and the stand taken by the respondents, the High Court directed that no chakroad be constructed over the petitioner's land in Gata No. 664 and that any future work by the Gaon Sabha must ensure the petitioner's holdings are not adversely affected. The petition was consequently disposed with the said direction.
Issues considered
- Whether the respondents are authorized to construct a chakroad over the petitioner's land covered by Gata No. 664.
- Whether the petitioner's grievance merits relief in the form of a direction restraining construction.

Court No. - 4
HON'BLE KSHITIJ SHAILENDRA, J.
1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel
for the State-respondents.
2. Grievance of the petitioner is that the respondents have marked his
chak covered by Gata No. 664 so as to lay down chakroad therein,
although chakroad lies in adjoining Gata No. 641 and, therefore, the
present writ petition has been filed when the applications moved by the
petitioners remained unaddressed to.
3. A coordinate Bench of this Court called for instructions from the
learned Standing Counsel on the last occasion.
4. Instructions have been produced before the Court, wherein following
stand has been taken:-
"यह कि जैसा कि याचिकाकर्ता के द्वारा अपने पत्र मे दर्शाया गया है कि गाटा संख्या 664
हर्दियापुर, मजरा अकबरपुर सल्लाहपुर, तहसील सदर मे किसी भी प्रकार का चकरोड का
निर्माण न कराया जाये। प्रकरण की स्थलीय जांच कराई गई जिसमे पाया गया कि उक्त गाटा
संख्या में वर्तमान समय मे धान की फसल बोई हुई है तथा ग्राम पंचायत निधि के द्वारा किसी भी
प्रकार का कोई चकरोड आज तक गाटा संख्या 664 में नहीं बनवाया गया है साथ ही यह भी
अवगत कराया गया है कि कार्य योजना में यह कार्य प्रस्तावित भी नहीं है।
इस प्रकार से प्रकरण मे प्रति-उत्तर तैयार कर आपके पास इस अनुरोध के साथ प्रेषित है कि
मा० उच्च न्यायालय इलाहाबाद द्वारा पारित आदेश के अनुपालन मे अपने स्तर से इन्स्ट्रक्शन
दाखिल कराने की कृपा करें।"

5. Learned Standing Counsel has also made submissions on the lines of
the instructions.
6. In view of the stand taken by the respondents in the written instructions
furnished by Block Development Officer, Bhagwatpur, Prayagraj, this
petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents that they shall
not construct chakroad over the bhumidhari land of the petitioner covered
by Gata No. 664 and, in any case, if something is done on the spot in
relation to the property of the Gaon Sabha, specific care would be taken
that the petitioner's holdings are not adversely affected.
