Court upheld the petitioner's right to seek relief regarding land use despite the current auction process.

JUDGMENT

Dated this the 26^th day of February, 2026 Petitioner has approached this Court seeking a direction to the

1^st respondent to dispose of Ext.P3 representation within a time limit to be fixed by this Court.

2. The specific grievance raised by the petitioner is that the

3^rd respondent Samajam is attempting to auction the conduct of prawn cultivation in the land owned by the petitioner also, and the demand to exclude his paddy land from auction was not considered by the 3^rd respondent. It is in the said circumstance that Ext.P3 complaint was preferred before the 1^st respondent District Collector.

Going by the contentions in Ext.P3, petitioner has approached the District Collector when the 3^rd respondent Samajam decided to auction the prawn cultivation including the property of the petitioner also. It is seen that this auction is for a particular year, therefore the writ petition is closed, leaving open the right of the petitioner to approach the competent authority including the 1^st respondent by filing appropriate complaint if any further grievance substist in future.
