Having regard to the fact that the 4th respondent-Gram Panchayat, after taking into consideration of all the aspects, has passed the impugned resolution to hand over the Chinna Veedhi Panchayat road to the Roads and Buildings Department for better amenities, the petitioners cannot take any objection in the matter. Hence, the relief sought by the petitioners in this writ petition cannot be granted by this Court in exercise of the jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. The writ petition is devoid of merit, and the same is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed at the stage of admission. No costs. ________________ (N.V.
