ORDER
This writ petition is directed against the impugned order dated 16.4.2009 issued by the Block Development Officer cum Commissioner, Sithamoor Panchayat Union, Cheyyur Taluk, Kanchipuram District, declining the request of the petitioner to change the land classified as "school poramboke" belonging to the Sithamoor Panchayat Union Elementary School, citing a reason that when the Sithamoor Panchayat Union Elementary School has been functioning for the past 45 years and the buildings have been constructed by the Sithamoor Panchayat Union and the lands have been allotted for the school for future expansion, it is not feasible to concede the request of the petitioner. The learned counsel for the petitioner stated that when the school is in possession of the land not allotted to it, the respondents should be directed to consider his request.
2. But this Court is unable to find any justification whatsoever for the petitioner to come to this Court challenging the impugned order passed by the seventh respondent. The reason is that when the school in question has been functioning for the past 45 years, even if the school is in possession of the land not allotted to it, as alleged by the petitioner, the petitioner has no locus to question the same, as he is not the owner of the land. Therefore, the writ petition stands dismissed. No costs. Sd/- Assistant Registrar (CS-IV) //True Copy// Sub Assistant Registrar ss
