Nitin Jamdar, C.J.
The Petitioner seeks action against two individuals, Respondent
Nos. 6 and 7. The Petitioner also seeks a direction to the statutory
Authorities to conduct an enquiry in respect of the property comprised in
Re-survey No. 302/2 in Block No. 24 in Thanneermukkam Vadakku
Village, which, according to the Petitioner, is a wetland, and Respondent
No. 6 is filling it up contrary to the Kerala Conservation of Paddy Land
and Wetland Act, 2008.
2. In the Petition, all that the Petitioner discloses about himself is that
he is a citizen of India and permanently residing at the address given in
the petition. The Petitioner states on oath that he has no personal or
private interest in the matter. Respondent No. 7 has filed an affidavit
raising a serious grievance that the Petitioner has a personal grudge
against Respondent Nos. 6 and 7, which he masquerades as public
interest. Respondent No. 7 asserts that the Petitioner is a real estate
broker who brokered the sale of the very same property by Respondent
No. 6 to Respondent No. 7, and he received ₹50,000/- from Respondent
No. 6. Respondent No. 7 also paid him ₹15,000/-. The Petitioner started
demanding more money from Respondent Nos. 6 and 7, and since they
refused, he resorted to file this petition. Respondent No. 7 has denied any
illegal activities and has stated that the stop memo issued by Respondent
No. 4 was challenged by Respondent No. 6, and that the operation of the
2025:KER:64978
said memo was stayed in W.P.(C) No.8020 of 2023 by the learned Single
Judge on 17 March 2023, a fact that has also been suppressed by the
Petitioner. A memo has been filed by the Government Pleader annexing
the report of the Inspector of Police, which states that, as per the enquiry
conducted, there are several civil cases pending against the Petitioner and
a warrant is pending in a criminal case. The Petitioner states that there is
no criminal case pending, and some of them are only proceedings under
Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881.
