W.P.(C)NO. 11952 OF 2007
-----------------------------------
DATED THIS THE 9th DAY OF APRIL, 2007
JUDGMENT
The petitioner has approached this court seeking the following
reliefs.
“(i) issue a writ of mandamus or other writ or
order or direction directing the respondents to forbear
from interfering with or taking any coercive steps against
the petitioner in respect of transport of River sand, metal
chips and metal powder etc. from Tamil Nadu through the
border Check Post in Kerala for sale in the State as per
Ext.P1 Registration.
(ii) To declare that the petitioner is entitled to
transport of River sand, metal chips and metal powder
etc. from Tamil Nadu through the border Check Post in
Kerala for sale in the State as per Ext.P1 Registration.
(iii) issue such other writ or direction, which this
Hon’ble Court may deem fit and proper on the facts and
circumstances of this case.”
I am of opinion that no such general order can be issued when the
petitioner has not even an allegation in the writ petition that any of his
lorries have been detained by any of the respondents for any of the
reasons alleged in the writ petition. This Court can interfere in the
matter only when the respondents in violation of the law act to the
prejudice of the petitioner. In the absence of any allegations in the writ
petition that any of the respondents have done so, the petitioner cannot
be granted any reliefs on the basis of such general prayers.
Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed.
