O R D E R

(Order of the Court was made by The Hon'ble Chief Justice) The petition is devoid of any material placed on record to show violations of law, as it is the own case of the petitioner that law is in force, but there alleged to be violations. The representation of the petitioner to the authorities concerned is made by e-mail on 30.01.2017 and this petition is filed the very next day. No representation has been given prior to that. What else can be said of such nature of petitions! Writ petition is dismissed. No costs.
