SR.GOVT.PLEADER SMT.K.R.DEEPA THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 01/03/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 6489 OF 2010 (I) ===================== Dated this the 1st day of March, 2010 J U D G M E N T The challenge in the writ petition is to the provisions of the Building Rules, in so far as it amends Rules 7, 11 and 25. These rules provide for obtaining of consent of the neighbour, revision of permits and distance from the central line of the road to the building. 2. This writ petition bas been filed by an Organization whose members are Architects. In my view, Architects or their Association cannot be a person aggrieved by the amendments, and at best, persons who apply for building permits can be those affected by the amendments. The petitioner being not an aggrieved party, I am not persuaded to think that the writ petition is maintainable at its instance. Writ petition fails and is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
