Issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ, order or direction directing the respondents to permit othe petitioner to import sand from Mangalore or Mysore to his construction site at Peruvayal Amsom and Peringalam Desom of Kozhikode Taluk. From the pleadings it is evident that without moving statutory authorities and the Government, the petitioner has straight away moved this Court for a direction to the respondents to permit him to import sand from the neighbouring State. The relief sought by the petitioner is in the realms of a policy decision which the Government alone can formulate. In such circumstances, leaving open the petitioner's right to move the Government seeking appropriate reliefs, this writ petition is dismissed. P.N.RAVINDRAN, Judge mrcs
