O R D E R

[Order of the Court was made by R.SUBRAMANIAN, J.] Being aggrieved by the order of the Writ Court dated 02.07.2024 made in W.P(MD)No.25259 of 2022, the appellant is on appeal.

2. We see no substance in the writ appeal. This litigation stems out of ego and personal vendetta. A decision has been arrived at in a peace committee meeting to retain a particular name for the bus-stop. We do not think that Article 226 of the Constitution of India, can be abused to this extent. This Court cannot name or rename a bus-stand in the villages in exercise of its jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. Hence, this writ appeal fails and it is accordingly dismissed. It will be

open to the District Collector, Thoothukudi District, to take a decision if the appellant chooses to make a representation in this regard. No Costs. Consequently, connected Miscellaneous Petition is closed. [R.S.M., J.] [L.V.G., J.] 29.08.2024 NCC :
