It was contended that the prescribed procedures under relevant laws were not followed, including seeking the Collector&#8217;s permission. It was informed that a civil suit for injunction against the demolition had already been filed by a journalist, before the Civil Judge, Junior Division, Garoth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">However, respondents argued that the old school building was in a dilapidated condition, and a new school building had already been constructed on alternate land in 2006. It was contended that the shopping complex was constructed under a district plan grant, per the State Government&#8217;s circular. It was argued that the petitioner&#8217;s PIL was motivated by personal grievances and adverse publicity, causing delays in auctioning shops and revenue generation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court noted that the Gram Panchayat&#8217;s actions were in compliance with the district plan grant and necessitated by the dilapidated condition of the old building. The Court stated that the Panchayat acted within its authority to construct the shopping complex to generate revenue.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court stated that the petitioner failed to provide sufficient evidence of procedural lapses or illegality. The Court found that the petitioner filed the PIL with malicious intent, evidenced by adverse publicity and actions that disrupted the Panchayat&#8217;s ability to auction shops.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court dismissed the PIL was dismissed with costs of &#8377;25,000 to be deposited by the petitioner in the Gram Panchayat&#8217;s account.
