ORDER

(Order of the Court was made by the Hon'ble Chief Justice) Challenge to the erection of mobile tower by the fourth respondent is assailed on the ground, which neither relates to violation of any law nor supported with any specific allegation that the tower is being erected without obtaining necessary permission required under any law of the land.

2. The petitioner's prayer seeking direction for consideration of his representation is bereft of any locus. The petition is frivolous and the same is therefore dismissed. There will be no order as to costs. Consequently, WMP No.5451 of 2026 is dismissed. (MANINDRA MOHAN SHRIVASTAVA, CJ.) (G.ARUL MURUGAN, J.) 26.02.2026 Index : Yes/No : Yes/No tar
