No.3339 of 2010 (N) --------------------------------- Dated, this the 2nd day of February, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner's allegations is that by Exts.P2 & P3, an amount of Rs.1,50,000/- was allotted for tarring Panthalu Paramboo Avaznagar Road. According to the petitioner, the respondents are now attempting to divert the funds for other purposes. It is with this grievance, this writ petition is filed seeking a direction to the respondents to utilise the fund for tarring the aforesaid road itself. 2. In my view, if the petitioner has a complaint as highlighted, what has to be done first is that the petitioner should move the authorities concerned, and only in the event the petitioner is unsuccessful in getting the relief, can the petitioner justifiably approach this Court. In this case, no such steps are seen to have been taken and therefore, this writ petition is closed leaving it open to the petitioner to move the authorities for redressal of the grievance mentioned above.
