               W.P.(C) No.24701 of 2016

        Dated this the 23rd day of May, 2024



                          JUDGMENT

The above writ petition is filed with the following

prayers:

"I. Writ of Certiorari quashing Exhibit P9 order passed by the 5th respondent in the interest of justice.

II. Writ of Mandamus directing the Respondents 3 and 5 to proceed with Exhibit P3 and P8 applications filed by the petitioner for license in accordance with the procedure prescribed under The Kerala Land Conservancy Act and Rules in the interest of justice.

III] Any other writ or order that this Honorable Court deems fit" SIC WP(C) NO. 24701 OF 2016

2. The main prayer in this Writ Petition is

against Ext.P9 order passed by the 5th respondent. The

petitioner submitted an application for constructing a

temporary shed in an irrigation purampoke land. The

officer concerned informed to the petitioner as per

Ext.P9 that, no such permission can be granted for

any kind of construction in Government purampoke

land to private persons. I see no reason to interfere

with the same. There is no merit in this writ petition.

Therefore, this writ petition is dismissed.
