W.P.(C) No.34540 of 2019
..2..
JUDGMENT
Prima facie the dispute is between the petitioner and the party respondent, i.e. the 1st respondent, who are admittedly brothers.
2. The counsel for the petitioner, in order to bring the case to the parameters of Article 226 of Constitution of India, has relied upon report dated 20.11.2017, Ext.P4, submitted by an overseer to the Secretary, Kumbalangi Grama Panchayat in support of the argument that opening of a window in a common wall is a violation of the Rules. But no such provision of the Rules in the absence of any sanctioned plan or permission had been cited. It is purely a civil dispute among the brothers and remedy can be always availed by invoking provisions of Section 9 of the Code of Civil Procedure by proving the documents in accordance with law.
With the aforementioned observation, this Writ Petition stands dismissed.
