GOVT.PLEADER SMT.SUDHADEVI THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 26/02/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ============== W.P.(C) NO. 6311 OF 2009 (H) ==================== Dated this the 26th day of February, 2009 J U D G M E N T The grievance of the petitioner is regarding the decision taken by the 2nd respondent to shift the office of the Special Tahsildar (LA), Kottiyam, which is presently located in the building owned by the Revenue Department. According to the petitioner, there are about 1000 cases pending, and if the shifting takes place, orders on the applications will be delayed and therefore shifting is against public interest. 2. Essentially the grievance of the petitioner is regarding the shifting of the office. In my view, it is purely an administrative function and it is not within the domain of this Court to interfere in a matter like this, especially since no arbitrariness or malafides have been made out. Writ petition fails and is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
