DATTU, C.J. & K.T. SANKARAN, J. ................................................................................... W.P.(C) No. 22787 OF 2007 ................................................................................... Dated this the 27th July, 2007 J U D G M E N T H.L. Dattu, C.J.: A public spirited citizen is before this court, complaining inaction of the first respondent, viz., the Conservator and Custodian of Forest, E Circle, Olavakkod, Palakkad district, in declaring the lands in Sy. No. 59/1, 80/3 and 90/2 of Shornur-II Village as fragile lands. 2. Before approaching this court, the petitioner had filed a representation dated 09.07.2007 before the first respondent . Even before the said authority could react to the request made by the petitioner, the petitioner has rushed to this court by filing this Writ Petition seeking for the above mentioned relief. 3. In our opinion, the Writ Petition is wholly premature. The petitioner should have requested the first respondent-authority to consider his representation and pass appropriate orders. If for any reason, the reliefs sought for by the petitioner are not granted, then only he/she can approach this court. In that view of the matter, the Writ Petition requires to be rejected and it is rejected. Ordered accordingly. H.L. DATTU, CHIEF JUSTICE. K.T. SANKARAN, JUDGE. lk
