Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.K.SAIRAM MURTHY Counsel for the Respondent No.: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following : JUDGMENT: (Per Anil R. Dave, CJ) This is a public interest litigation ﬁled by Sri Modamamba Girijanetara Sangam making vague averments to the eﬀect that in a tribal area some non-tribals are residing and very often, tribals are attacking non-tribals residing in the said area and their properties are also destroyed. Learned Advocate appearing for the petitioner is absent. We have gone through the contents of the petition and we did not ﬁnd any speciﬁc instances, as there are vague averments. Learned Government Pleader appearing for respondents 1 and 2 has submitted that till now no speciﬁc complaint has been received by the said respondents, and if any complaint is received, the said respondents shall look into the complaint and shall act in accordance with law. In view of the fact that there are vague averments and as the concerned learned Government Pleaders have given assurance that appropriate action shall be taken if any complaint is ﬁled, we see no reason to entertain this petition at this stage. The petition stands disposed of and we are sure that the concerned respondents shall look into the complaint if any complaint is given to them. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ ANIL R. DAVE, CJ ______________________________ VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR, J 26th August, 2008 GRR
