The learned standing counsel appearing for the respondent Board as well as the learned Government Pleader appearing for the first respondent submits that pursuant to a similar grievance as projected by some other persons earlier, by filing WP(C) 6383/2010, Ext.P7 judgment was passed by this Court directing the concerned ADM to consider the dispute and to pass appropriate orders after giving an opportunity of hearing to all concerned. 3. It is brought to the notice of this Court that, as borne by Ext.P4 statement of objection, the same has been filed by the petitioner before the District Collector, Thrissur, who is stated as having jurisdiction over the property of the petitioner, whereas the property in Kunnukara Village is actually situated in Ernakulam district and the District Collector/District Magistrate, Ernakulam is not a party to this Writ Petition. 2 WP(C) No. 14144/2010 This being the position, the authorities shown as the 1st and 2nd respondents in the Writ Petition are not correct or proper. 4. In the above circumstance, no interference is warranted in this Writ Petition and the same is dismissed without prejudice to the right and liberties of the petitioner to challenge the order stated as passed by the concerned District Magistrate/ADM, if aggrieved in any manner.
