ORDER
The Writ Petition has been filed challenging an order of allotment of houses constructed in Samathuvapuram. The writ petitioner has restricted his prayer with regard to the allotment of house in favour of the sixth respondent alone. The petitioner has further prayed that he is also an eligible person and hence, a house should be allotted to him in the said Samathuvapuram.
2. A perusal of the writ affidavit shows that though a prayer has been sought for specifically as against the sixth respondent, there are no allegations as against the sixth respondent for cancelling the allotment made in his favour. Further, though the petitioner has contended that the selection list prepared by the committee has not been approved by the District Collector, counter filed by the fourth respondent indicates that the selection list was already approved by the District Collector and thereafter, the possession was handed over to the beneficiaries. The fourth respondent in his counter has further pointed out that the petitioner has not even made an application for allotment of a house in the Samathuvapuram. The application, dated 22.10.2010 found in the typed set of papers is not supported by any document to show that it was actually made to the Village Panchayat or sent by post.
3. In view of the above said circumstances, I do not find any reason to interfere in the allotment order issued by the statutory authorities in favour of the beneficiaries. Hence, the Writ Petition stands dismissed. No costs. Consequently, connected Miscellaneous Petition is closed.
