After giving representation to include their village for conducting Jallikattu and grant permission, the present Public Interest Litigation is filed seeking issuance of a Writ of Mandamus. 2.Heard the learned counsel appearing on either side and perused the materials placed before this Court.
3.From the records, this Court finds that the representation is dated 26.3.2025 sent by registered post on 28.3.2025. Soon after the Writ Petition is filed seeking mandamus, even without affording time for the respondents to look into the request and act upon to find out the feasibility, the Petitioner has approached this Court. Hence this Court is not inclined to entertain this Writ Petition. 4.Accordingly, the Writ Petition stands dismissed. However, it is for the respondents to consider the representation of the Petitioner, dated 26.3.2025 and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law, preferably, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs.
