JUDGMENT Koshy,J. This Writ Petition is filed for a writ of mandamus commanding and compelling respondents 1 and 2 to initiate legal action to prevent the filling up of illegal river and water channel portions, trespassing of puramboke land and illegal sand mining and destruction of ecological balance by the third respondent and his men. The third respondent had already filed civil suit and got an injunction against the petitioner and others preventing them from obstructing the said illegal activities. He wants to vacate the order. It is not a public interest litigation. It is only a private interest litigation. Since the third respondent has filed the suit, it is for the petitioner to furnish all details before the civil court and contest the case. In view of the pendency of the civil dispute before the civil court, we dismiss this Writ Petition. J.B.Koshy, Judge. P.N.Ravindran, Judge. ess 18/7
