Shri Hemant Kesharwani, Advocate For respondents/State :

Shri Shashank Thakur, Govt. Advocate Hon'ble Shri Justice P. Sam Koshy Order On Board 17/07/2015 The instant writ petition has been filed by the petitioner against the order dated 23.05.2015 whereby the work distribution of the Office of the Collector (Mining), Raipur has been put to test. Needless to mention that the action under challenge is not one which could be assailed in a writ petition as the same is purely administrative in nature, as is explicit through the impugned order and that no fundamental right whatsoever of the petitioner has been infringed by the said order for which the writ petition invoking the extraordinary writ jurisdiction under Article 226 of Constitution of India could be exercised. However, the petitioner would be at liberty to approach the Authority concerned by making appropriate representation for redressal of his grievance.

Accordingly, the instant writ petition being devoid of merit deserves to be and is hereby dismissed.
