====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE and HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE MADHURESH PRASAD ORAL JUDGMENT (Per: HONOURABLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE

Date : 04-05-2023

Thirty-one writ petitions are pending before this

Court as a Public Interest Litigation seeking establishment of

airports in almost as much as the districts that exist in the State

of Bihar. In our opinion, the writ petitions would not be Patna High Court CWJC No.1784 of 2023 dt.04-05-2023

maintainable, especially as a Public Interest Litigation, since it

is a purely policy matter of the respective Governments to

decide on the establishment of airports, the land to be acquired

and so on and so forth; wherein financial viability also becomes

a very important consideration. The very claim raised in all the

31 writ petitions is to have an airport in every district of Bihar.

We cannot but say, it shocks the judicial mind, especially

considering the jurisdictional power to interfere in such policy

matters.

On expressing our minds, the learned counsel

appearing for the petitioner, Shri Sumit Kumar Singh referred us

to the order dated 27.02.2023 passed by another Division

Bench. Therein the learned Additional Solicitor General had

produced a tabular form, from which it was revealed that there

are 31 Airports/Airstrips in the State of Bihar of which 21 are

owned by the State Government, five belong to the Ministry of

Defence and seven including two Civil Enclaves belong to the

Airport Authority of India (hereinafter referred as "AAI"). There

are only three out of 31 Airports/Civil Enclaves which are

operational for civil flights; being the airports at Patna, Gaya

and Darbhanga. The non-operational airports at Raxaul,

Muzaffarpur and Jogbani come under the control of AAI,

whereat, to secure the property, the authority has constructed Patna High Court CWJC No.1784 of 2023 dt.04-05-2023

boundary walls and there are regular checks carried out by its

officials to avoid encroachment and remove it, if necessary with

the help of district administration. AAI had also made request

to the State Government to provide lands including 121 acres

for Raxaul and 475 acres for Muzaffarpur. There was also a

proposal for AAI to develop Civil Enclaves at Indian Air Force

Airport at Purnea. It was submitted that there were no bids

received from the airlines for the Airports/AirStrips other than

Darbhanga, Gaya and Patna despite inclusion of Raxaul,

Muzaffarpur and Jogbani under UDAN (Ude Desh Ka Aam

Nagrik). The State Government is required to sponsor the routes

and there was no such sponsorship made under two phases of

UDAN 4.0 and 4.1. The tabular chart was also extracted in the

order.

The learned Advocate General who appeared on

behalf of the State submitted before Court that the State

Government is focusing its efforts to develop airports at Patna,

Bihta, Gaya, Darbhanga and Purnea. The Patna International

Airport (J.P.N.I.A) serves 10 districts, that at Gaya, 9 districts,

that at Darbhanga, 11 districts and that proposed at Purnea, 9

districts. It was the submission of the learned Advocate General

that the coverage would include all the districts of Bihar and the

distance from each of such airports to the various places would Patna High Court CWJC No.1784 of 2023 dt.04-05-2023

be less than 100 kilometers.

The Division Bench specifically noticed that

whether a particular place should have an airport or not is a

matter exclusively within the domain of the Executive and there

is no cause for interference by the High Court, exercising

jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. Only

noticing the stand of the State Government that there was a

proposal to have an airport at Purnea to cater to the need of nine

major districts of the State of Bihar, the Public Interest

Litigations were entertained. The State Government was also

directed to inform this Court as to what steps have been taken. It

was also noticed that from the chart supplied by the learned

Additional Solicitor General, it was revealed that, there are a

number of non-functional Airports/Airstrips in the State of Bihar

wherein there has occurred unauthorized encroachments by the

local inhabitants. Such lands were also not properly maintained

and remain uncared for. Hence, the District Magistrates in the

State of Bihar was directed to identify the illegal encroachments

and take immediate steps for removal of such encroachments.

There was also a direction in so far as the AAI, Union

Government and the State Government to make a

comprehensive plan for maintenance of such airports and air

strips in the State of Bihar which are not operational. Patna High Court CWJC No.1784 of 2023 dt.04-05-2023

We have to specifically notice that the Division

Bench noticed the constraints of invoking the extraordinary

remedy under Article 226; but proceeded so to do only with

respect to the Purnea Airport and the proper maintenance and

upkeep of the non-functional airports as also keeping them free

of encroachments.

We see orders have been passed

subsequently also regarding the removal of encroachments with

specific caution directed at the District Magistrates. Today, the

AAI has referred to its counter affidavit wherein it has

specifically stated that the AAI had asked for 50 acres of land on

the northern side of the runway at Purnea whereas 52.18 acres

of land has been acquired on the southern side of the runway;

which is not in accordance with the profile forwarded by the

AAI. It is also pointed out that the presently acquired land

would be closer to the runway and hence would occasion

limitation of the passenger capacity; due to restriction of the

permissible height of the terminal building, only to a single

level. The AAI has also referred to the affidavit of the State,

which asserts that the construction of four lane approach road,

will be considered by the State of Bihar in future. Obviously,

there are issues to be sorted out between the State Government

and the Central Government as also the AAI. It would not be Patna High Court CWJC No.1784 of 2023 dt.04-05-2023

proper for this Court to interfere with such policy decisions and

it would suffice to direct the Governments as of now to ensure

the proper maintenance of the lands; which are either in the

ownership and possession of the AAI or the State Government.

The direction in the order dated 27.03.2023 regarding the

encroachments to be removed by the District Magistrates is

made absolute. In the context of any encroachment of the lands

dedicated for the establishment of the airport; in future it shall

be kept free of encroachments and the respective owners shall

be mindful of the proper upkeep of such lands. We are of the

opinion that no practical purpose would be served in keeping the

writ petitions pending. We cannot be monitoring or supervising

the discussions between the Government in so far as the

establishment of airports; which is beyond the judicial ken.

We, hence, with the above directions dispose of the

batch of writ petitions.
