SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------ W.P.(C) No.13704 OF 2009 ------------------------------- Dated this the 30th day of June, 2010 J U D G M E N T This writ petition is filed by the landlord in proceedings before the Land Tribunal challenging Ext.P8 order, whereby her application for issue of a Commission has been rejected. The application for issue of a Commission was to ascertain as to whether the property in question will come within the purview of the Coastal Regulation Zone Notification. I am of opinion that an Advocate Commissioner cannot decide the question as to whether a particular property comes within the purview of Coastal Regulation Zone Notification, when the authorities empowered with such powers are available. That being so, I do not find any infirmity in Ext.P8 order rejecting the application for issue of a commission. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE acd
