Govindharajan v. The District Collector

ORDER Heard both sides.

¶2The petitioner is engaged in the business of rearing pigs. The petitioner alleges that his right is being interfered with by the respondents. Even according to the petitioner, he is carrying on his work of rearing in and around Survey No.237 which is situated very near Cauvery River. It is not the case of the petitioner that the place where he is rearing pigs belongs to him. The petitioner can rear pigs in his patta land after getting permission and license from the authorities concerned. The petitioner cannot demand as a matter of right that he will rear pigs in a Government land. No case for interference has been made out.

¶3This writ petition stands dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
