JUDGMENT H.L.DATTU, CJ, Petitioner claims himself to be the Manager of Tharakkal A.U.P. School at Thuvvur. Respondents 5 and 6 are the office bearers of a Club by name Jawahar Sports Club, Thuvvur. It is alleged in the writ petition that the aforesaid respondents are attempting to trespass into the playground of the School and to conduct a tournament without permission from the petitioner. It is further stated that the playground exclusively belongs to the School and as the Manager of the School, petitioner is entitled to keep possession of the same. It is further stated that the ownership of the School as well as the playground has been undoubtedly declared by Exts.P1 to P4 decisions of the civil court. 2. It is the allegation of the petitioner before this court that respondents 5 and 6, who are supposed to be the office bearers of a Club by name Jawahar Sports Club, have no right or possession over the playground. Petitioner, before approaching this court, had made representations before the District Collector, Malappuram, the Superintendent of Police, Malappuram and the Sub Inspector of Police, Karuvarakund, Malappuram District to prevent respondents 5 and 6 from trespassing into the playground and to conduct a football tournament. 3. Based on the representation filed by the persons interested, the District Collector has passed an order directing the Secretary, Thuvvur Grama Panchayath to stop the tournament until further orders. It appears that it is ordered for an inquiry to be conducted by the Grama Panchayat. WPC. 9939/2008. 2 4. Since the District Collector has already issued appropriate orders to the Grama Panchayat to stop the tournament until further orders, at this stage, it may not be necessary for us to go into the other details of the writ petition. Placing on record the memo filed by the learned Government Pleader along with the Annexure dated 26.3.2008, this writ petition is disposed of. Ordered accordingly. H.L. DATTU, CHIEF JUSTICE K.M.
