Vadavalli Ghugan Garden Residents Welfare Association, v. The Director

ORDER This writ petition filed by an association espousing the cause of its members is not maintainable.

¶2According to the petitioner association, despite the layout in question being an approved one, the plan sanction application sought for by individual plot owners is being rejected by the respondents. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner has filed the writ of mandamus to direct the respondents 4 and 5 to accept the application submitted by the residents/members of the petitioner association seeking for building plan approval.

¶3Only individual plot owners, who are aggrieved by the non-acceptance of their application seeking for building plan approval, can approach this Court individually by filing separate writ petitions. In the instant writ petition, no particulars have been given with regard to the details of the individual applications submitted by the individual plot owners seeking for building plan approval.
