¶35

Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner

¶36

refers to the temporary allotment letter produced at Annexure-G. However, a perusal of the Endorsement would indicate that the petitioner has put up construction in a Sarkari Kaluve (Government drain/channel). Therefore, the respondents have refused to issue a permanent Hakku Patra in terms of the Resolution passed by respondent No.3 on 17.04.2025.

¶37

In that view of the matter, I am of the considered opinion that there is no infirmity or illegality in the Endorsement dated 07.05.2025 (Annexure-Q) issued by respondent No.4.

¶38

Accordingly, the writ petition stands dismissed .
