                                JUDGMENT

After hearing the case for some time, it seems that the

contention of the petitioner appears to be a public interest

litigation. Therefore, this Court is of the opinion that this writ

petition need not be entertained. At this stage, the counsel for

the petitioner submitted that the petitioner may be given an

opportunity to file appropriate proceedings separately.

Therefore, this writ petition is dismissed granting liberty

to the petitioner to file appropriate proceedings in accordance

with law, if he is advised so.
