Subramaniyam.A v. The District Collector

ORDER

Heard both sides.

2.There is nothing on record to show that a portion of Survey No. 204/1 was ever used as a public pathway. The petitioner has also not impleaded the rival parties as respondents in this writ petition. For sheer paucity of material, I am not able to grant relief to the petitioner. If according to the petitioner, a pathway had been unlawfully converted as patta land, the petitioner can very well go before the jurisdictional civil Court for appropriate relief and declaration.

3.Granting such liberty, this writ petition stands dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs.
