JUDGMENT In my view, petitioner cannot maintain this writ petition before this court inasmuch as the substantive challenge is against Ext.P2 demand made by the District Forest Officer, Kodaikanal Division. Obviously, the remedy of the petitioner would not be before this court, If permissible, it may lie before the courts in Tamil Nadu. In the circumstances, I am not inclined to entertain this writ petition. The same is dismissed as not maintainable. Sd/- (V.GIRI) JUDGE sk/ //true copy// P.S. To Judge
