SHRI.I.V.PRAMOD. THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 25/05/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================================= W.P.(C).No.15880 of 2007 ================================== Dated this the 25th day of May, 2007 J U D G M E N T The petitioner claims to be a dealer in sand. He states that he is transporting river sand from Tamilnadu after obtaining necessary permits and sales tax registration. He has filed this writ petition for the following relief: “i) issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ, direction or order, directing the respondents 2, 4 and 5 not to detain the vehicles transporting river sand to the petitioner's retail business covered by Exhibit P2 registration.” However, the petitioner has not even mentioned any single instance in which the petitioner's lorry has been detained. In the absence of any material to show that the respondents have been doing anything illegal, I do not think that this court would be justified in issuing such a general order. I do not find any merit in the writ petition and accordingly, the same is dismissed. Sd/- sdk+ S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE ///True copy/// P.A. to Judge. 2
