                            J U D G M E N T

The writ petition has been filed aggrieved by Ext. P1 decision

of the 1st respondent permitting construction of a pathway through

the side of a thodu. According to the petitioner that will result in

reduction in extent of his land and that the beneficiaries of the said

pathway have other access available to their properties.

2. Counter affidavits have been filed by respondents 1and 2, 5

and 6 from which it is obvious that there is absolutely no

encroachment on the petitioner’s property and if that be so, the

petitioner cannot complain that he is aggrieved in any manner by

the construction of the pathway in question.

3. That apart, it is also seen that if at all the petitioner is

aggrieved he has statutory remedy of appeal. In view of the above

reasons, the writ petition is only to be dismissed and I do so.

However, it will be open to the petitioner to avail the appellate

remedy, if so advised.
