EXT.P1 TRUE COPY OF THE REGISTRATION CERTIFICATE OF PETITIONER. EXT.P2 TRUE COPY OF THE NOTICE DTD 22.9.2008 ISSUED BY THE PETITIONER TO THE RESPONDENTS. lgk THOTTATHIL B RADHAKRISHNAN, J ........................................... WP(C).NO. 14766 OF 2009 ............................................ DATED THIS THE 24th DAY OF JUNE, 2009 JUDGMENT The petitioner, a registered society states that it functions for the welfare of the suppliers of construction materials. It seeks a direction to the respondents, which are two panchayats, to act on the request contained in Ext.P2 representation. The plea projected at the time of arguments is that respondents, panchayats, are not issuing sand to persons, who are residing outside the limits of the respective panchayat and that this amounts to hostile discrimination. This is not a matter on which there could be a collective litigation or a representative action much less, by a society. If any person is infringed of statutory or fundamental rights, he may have a right, that too, only if individual requests are not considered in terms of law. Such persons have to agitate such issues on the basis of relevant statutes. I do not find any reason to issue any omnibus direction for consideration of Ext.P2 representation of the petitioner, as WP(C)14766/2009 2 sought for. The writ petition fails and is accordingly dismissed. THOTTATHIL B RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE lgk/24/6
