Order
This writ petition has been filed seeking to direct the respondents 1 to 5 to take appropriate action against the 6th respondent by considering the representation of the petitioner dated 21.7.2026.
2. Learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner is working as a Graduate Teacher (English) at Panchayat Union Middle School, Chinna Kanrattupatti, Uthankarai Taluk, Krishnagiri District for the past 1 ½ years.

registered against the petitioner. Further the 6th respondent instigated the students to call the petitioner as POCSO teacher. The Police enquiry has also been conducted in this regard and there is no case to establish the petitioner as POCSO offender. Therefore, the petitioner made a representation to the respondents 1 to 5 to take necessary action against the 6th respondent, who is responsible for the problems created to the petitioner. Since the same was not considered, the present writ petition has been filed.
3. Ms.Kalpa Reddy, learned Special Government Pleader takes notice on behalf of the respondents 1, 3 to 5 and Mr.B.Pachaiyappa, learned Additional Government Pleader takes notice on behalf of the 2nd respondent.
4. Considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner, it is evident that, though a Police enquiry has been conducted, no case has been established to substantiate the allegation that the petitioner is a POCSO offender. Therefore, the dispute appears to be private in nature between the petitioner and the 6th respondent. The main grievance of the petitioner pertains to the alleged misuse of his name and the consequential injury to his reputation, which cannot be adjudicated in the writ jurisdiction.
