this writ petition is nothing but a legal adventurism which warrants to be curbed. So, this writ petition is accordingly, dismissed.
03. This court is sparing the petitioner from the burden of costs as may be because he acted upon the legal advice rendered by his counsel which this court reckons to be an irresponsible legal advice making the petitioner, a resident of far-flung area to bypass the Deputy Commissioner, Doda, and also the other local officials and to come up with the present petition in the High Court of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh, at Jammu. For the act of irresponsibility on the part of the counsel, the court is sparing the petitioner form the costs.
04. A copy of the order be provided to Mrs. Monika Kohli, learned senior AAG for the sake of notice of the officials above-named.
