RADHAKRISHNAN & C.T.RAVIKUMAR, JJ. ---------------------------------------- W.P.(C)No.29921 of 2011 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 18th day of November, 2011 JUDGMENT Thottathil B.Radhakrishnan, J. The petitioner says that he is a contractor who had participated in public auction and had bid two stalls in Nilakkal. Apart from his commercial interest, we see that, there is a larger issue that we perceive from the pleadings of the petitioner. He says that unauthorized stalls are put up and operating in Sannidhanam, Nilakkal etc. The learned standing counsel for TDB Sri.Nandagopal Nambiar is justified in saying that the Board authorities will look into that aspect and take necessary action. In furtherance of this, we also direct the District Magistrate/District Collector, Pathanamthitta and the Forest Department to ensure that there is no unauthorized shop, stall or other activity in Sannidhanam, Pamba, Erumeli, Nilakkal and enroute through important roads that lead to Pamba and Erumeli. This shall be done to ensure that illegal activities do not take place and such unauthorized stalls etc. do not eat up the space which is otherwise required in WP(C).No.29921/2011 2 connection with the Mandala-Makaravilakku season. Ordered accordingly. Communicate to District Magistrate/District Collector, Pathanamthitta and issue copy to TDB. Sd/- THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN Judge Sd/- C.T.RAVIKUMAR Judge TKS/18.11
