C.J. Complaint raised by the petitioner is that the District Collector compelled him to purchase tickets of a lottery conducted by the State Government for a specific purpose of augmenting the Chief Minister's Fund for the poor. Government Pleader submitted that what maximum the District Collector would have done was to persuade the school teachers including the petitioner and there is no complaint from any other parties. The tickets were sold long back and the lottery is also over. We do not find any merit in the writ petition. The same is accordingly dismissed. C.N. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, (Ag. CHIEF JUSTICE) P.S.
