BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI. I.V. PRAMOD THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 10/06/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C)No.17219 OF 2008 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 10th day of June, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioner styles himself as the State Secretary of an Organisation named Human Rights Protection Council. He seeks a direction to the District Collector to consider and pass orders on Ext.P1. Ext.P1 is stated to be an application under Section 7 of the Kerala Land Conservancy Act. Section 7 of the Kerala Land Conservancy Act prescribes punishment for unauthorisedly occupying land, which is the property of the Government. That Section does not give any right on the part of the petitioner to file an application like Ext.P1. The learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that under Section 16(7), the petitioner has a right to file Ext.P1. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. The right under Section 16(7) is available to only a person aggrieved by any decision or order under the Act. Ext.P1 is not against any decision or order under the Act. Further the petitioner is not aggrieved by any action of the 2nd respondent. That being so this writ petition is not maintainable and accordingly the same is dismissed. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd
