(Order of the Court was made by the Hon'ble Chief Justice) This writ petition has been filed seeking orders on the respondents to consider the representation dated 16th August 2017 of the petitioner and to take immediate action as per law to remove the TASMAC retail shop No.11686 located near the bus stop at Deviyanandal Village within 10 metres from Salem-Puducherry State Highway.
2. It is not in dispute that establishing a TASMAC retail shop within 10 metres from the State Highway is prohibited by the orders of the Hon'ble Supreme Court. However, the learned counsel appearing on behalf of respondent Nos.1& 3 submits that the shop is not within the prohibited distance from any highway. According to the petitioner, the road referred to in the writ petition is a District Major Road and not a State Highway. Since there is no other illegality adverted to in the writ petition, we do not deem it appropriate to entertain this writ petition.
3. The writ petition is, accordingly, dismissed. No costs.
