ORDER

¶14

(Order of the Court was made by the Hon'ble Chief Justice)

¶15

The petitioner has been repeatedly representing seeking bifurcation of Ward No.18 of Avadi Municipality, Avadi, Thiruvallur District, but that has not found favour with the respondent authorities.

¶16

We are of the view that there cannot be any direction given necessarily to bifurcate the ward because the petitioner so desires and it is for the respondent authorities to take a call as to when there is necessity of bifurcating a ward. A formal communication, however, be sent to the petitioner on the representations of the petitioner qua the aforesaid issue.

¶17

The writ petition is dismissed with the aforesaid
observation. No costs.
