JUDGMENT
H.L.DATTU, CJ,
The order passed by the learned Single Judge in W.P.(C) 21322 of
2007 dated 21st of August, 2007 is the subject matter of this writ appeal.
2. The learned Single Judge has rejected the writ petition.
3. Petitioner claims that he is in possession of Shop Room No.6 in
Block No.10 of the Shopping Complex of the first respondent Devaswom Board.
According to him, the shop had been allotted by the Board to the third respondent.
It is his further case that the third respondent in turn has allotted the shop to the
petitioner. Therefore, in the writ petition, the petitioner requests this court to direct
respondents 1 and 2 to execute a lease deed in favour of the petitioner in respect
of shop bearing No.6 in Block No.10 of Shopping Complex of the Devaswom
Board.
4. In our opinion, the learned Single Judge has rightly rejected the
writ petition. We do not see any infirmity in the orders passed by the learned
Single Judge. Therefore, interference with the said order is not called for.
Accordingly, while confirming the order passed by the learned Single Judge, we
reject the writ appeal. Rejection of the writ appeal will not come in the way of the
appellant/petitioner approaching the Devaswom Board for appropriate reliefs.
Ordered accordingly.
H.L. DATTU,
CHIEF JUSTICE
K.M. JOSEPH,
