O R D E R

The petitioner's counsel reports no instruction.

2. I therefore went through the contents of the affidavit filed in support of this writ petition. The prayer sought for cannot be granted. The petition-mentioned survey number is a water-body. A private party cannot restrain the local body from exercising its statutory rights. This writ petition stands dismissed. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
