JUDGMENT
Petitioners have filed this writ petition with the following prayers:
(i) issue a writ of certiorari or such other writ quashing Ext.P5 as the same is illegal, erroneous and unsustainable in law.
(ii) issue a writ of prohibition, prohibiting the respondents from drawing electric line through the property of the petitioners, through the alignment suggested by the respondents.
W.P.(C)No.25401 OF 2010
:: 2 ::
change of alignment requested by the petitioners. There is no building in the property of the petitioners. As such shifting the line southwords as suggested by the petitioners will not affect any person except the fifth respondent, the illegal quarry operator.
“The disputed sites referred in letter no.E3-1374/10 dated 11-3-2010 of The ADM, Malappuram were inspected from this office on 7-5-2010 and 10-5-2010, and the following facts have been reported.
1. The surveyed route of the respondents who filed the petition through which the proposed 110KV DC line is passing having minimum number of inhabitants with permanent homes.
2. The geographical terrain seems to be Up & Down slopes repeating frequently (small spans). Hence the design of towers become complicated.
W.P.(C)No.25401 OF 2010
:: 3 ::
3. The area under the survey covers with recently planted rubber trees (not milking), climbers, cashew trees, shrebs and hedges/bushes.
4. Near locations A-13 & A-15 (by sides) a quarry is functioning. The territory of operation of the quarry to be specified and notice to be issued showing the existing hazards of rock blasts.
From para 1 to 4 above the following conclusion is arrived.
Any small change in the alignment of the surveyed route will affect other habitants who are staying in their permanent homes by the sides of the proposed Malaparamba-Kuttipuram 110 KV DC line which has to be completed without any delay. Hence no deviation of the surveyed line is being recommended. Therefore the surveyed route of line seems to be more feasible.”
Writ petition is dismissed.
