P.K.Aathimoolam v. The District Collector

ORDER This writ petition has been filed seeking for issuance of mandamus directing the respondents to consider the representation made by the petitioner on 12.10.2020 to take action in accordance with law.

¶2The case of the petitioner is that he is a ward member in the Village Panchayat and subsequently, he was also elected as Vice President of Koodakovil Village Panchayat. The grievance of the petitioner is that many trees were cut without permission of the Revenue Department and that the Panchayat President also colluded in the said illegal act. Hence, a representation was made by the petitioner to take action. Since the same was not considered, the present writ petition has been filed before this Court.

¶3The learned Special Government Pleader based on the written instructions, submitted that based on the work order issued by the Block Development Officer, the trees were cut from the kanmois and the same were also put on auction and the amount that was collected has also been deposited. It was further submitted that based on the representation given by the petitioner, an enquiry was also conducted and it has been concluded. All the relevant documents were also placed before this Court.

¶4In light of the above development, no further orders are required to be passed in this writ petition. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of. No costs.
