Petitioner submits that he has submitted representations to the authorities and that there is inaction on their part. 2. In my view, the issue raised by the petitioner does not involve a case for any public law remedy and it is essentially a civil dispute. For this, the right remedy available to the petitioner is to approach the Civil Court. Therefore, I close this writ petition, without prejudice to the rights of the petitioner and leaving open the contentions. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE. Rp
