Pitchaimuthu .D v. The District Collector

ORDER Heard the learned counsel appearing for the writ petitioner and the learned Additional Government Pleader appearing for the official respondents.

¶2The petitioner alleges that the coconut trees planted by the fourth respondent who is the neighbour are causing nuisance to him. He therefore petitioned the revenue authorities for taking action. The revenue authorities relegated the petitioner to move the jurisdictional Court. To that effect, the impugned memorandum was issued. The same is put to challenge in this writ petition.

¶3The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner reiterated all the contentions set out in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition and called upon this Court to grant relief as prayed for.

¶4I am satisfied that a petty issue between two adjacent land owners is sought to be given a different colour so as to invoke public law remedy. I am not inclined to interfere.

¶5This writ petition stands dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
