No.31531 of 1999 ---------------------------------------------- Dated 31st January, 2007. J U D G M E N T The issue raised in this writ petition pertains to the steps taken for realisation of conversion charges. According to the petitioner society, the Government in principle had agreed that conversion charges are not to be collected from societies. But it is seen from Ext.R1 Government letter that the decision is only in respect of collection of charges in future, i.e., after 22.8.1997, the date of Ext.R1. Since the same is a development after Ext.P4, in case the petitioner has still any grievance on Ext.R1, it will be open to the petitioner to approach the Government for appropriate modification of Ext.R1. The writ petition is disposed of as above.
