They are aggrieved by alleged harassment on the part of the respondents 1 to 4 in the matter of petitioners' transporting rubber wood materials inter-state to Maharashtra. I am of opinion that this writ petition cannot be entertained by this court since essentially the petitioners seek remedies against the respondents 1 to 4 who are the officials of the Forest Department of the State of Maharashtra, and the petitioners should seek their remedies in the High Court of Bombay for the said relief. Therefore without prejudice to that right of the petitioners, this writ petition is dismissed. S. SIRI JAGAN JUDGE shg/
