1 S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.5596/2010 Gurdeep Singh Vs. State of Rajasthan and Ors. DATE OF ORDER : 9.7.2010 HON'BLE MR. GOVIND MATHUR, J. Mr. Arjun Singh, for the petitioner. As per the petitioner, respondents are closing the existing water course which is situated at Stone No.171/252 to 171/251.4 and 172/251.4 without ad-hearing the procedure as prescribed under the Rajasthan Irrigation and Drainage Rules, 1955. A direction thus is sought not to close the water out-let. While seeking writ in the nature of mandamus making demand from the competent authorities is a condition precedent. It is the position admitted that before approaching this Court, the petitioner has not ventilated his grievance before the competent officers of the Irrigation Department. In view of it, I am not inclined to entertain this petition for writ at this stage, accordingly, the same is dismissed. 2 However, it shall be open for the petitioner now to approach the respondents ventilating his grievance and to file a petition afresh in accordance with rules, if the respondents do not decided his grievance in reasonable time or if his grievance survives even after disposal of the representation submitted by him.
