Order
(Order of the Court was made by S.M.Subramaniam J.) The relief sought for by the Review Applicant / Petitioner in the writ petition is to direct the first respondent to consider and dispose of the representation.
2. This Court made a finding that mere disposal of the representation dated 04.11.2024 with regard to the cancellation of planning permission as well as demolition of a multistoreyed building is innocuous prayer and therefore the writ petition per se is not entertainable. Now again the petitioner has made an attempt to adjudicate the grounds in a review petition, which is impermissible.
REV.APLW No. 56 of 2026
