It is nowhere stated that by construction of Church how the petitioner’s rights are infringed and how he is interested to safeguard the rights of the villagers. If the petitioner made any representation to the Collector, it is for the Collector to consider the same and pass appropriate orders, but no Mandamus can be issued against the respondents. The petitioner appears to be motivated by some political vengeance and filed this writ petition. In view of the judgment of Supreme Court in Dr. B. Singh Vs. Union of India and others the writ petition is not maintainable. Accordingly the Writ Petition is dismissed. No costs. _____________________ A. Gopal Reddy, J. 20th August, 2004. Js.
