J U D G M E N T
Petitioner is a Society allegedly incorporated for
looking after the rights and welfare of the Tribals of Attappady
in Palakkad district. According to the petitioner, they are
presently facing the problem of usurpation of tribal property
through illegal means by others. It is stated that complaints
made in this behalf finally led to a Government Order to
survey only one of the villages in Attappady area, which
consists of 6 villages and 187 hamlets. It is stated that the
whole problem of land grabbing can be brought light only if
survey is conducted in all the 6 villages.
2. However, from the pleadings, what is noticed is that
despite the case of the petitioner to the above effect,
petitioner has not taken up the issue before the Government
or any one of the authorities. If the petitioner has a case that
the survey ordered is inadequate, the petitioner should take
W.P.(C) No.36509/10
: 2 :
up the matter before the District Collector and it is for the
District Collector to take up the matter with the Government
for issuing orders in the nature of Ext.P1.
Therefore, leaving it open to the petitioner to move the
District Collector, Palakkad, with the grievance highlighted
above, this writ petition is disposed of.
