In this writ petition, the petitioner has assailed the Endorsement dated 07.05.2025 (Annexure-Q) issued by respondent No.4. - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:29474 WP No. 26280 of 2025 4. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner refers to the temporary allotment letter produced at Annexure-G. However, a perusal of the Endorsement would indicate that the petitioner has put up construction in a Sarkari Kaluve (Government drain/channel). Therefore, the respondents have refused to issue a permanent Hakku Patra in terms of the Resolution passed by respondent No.3 on 17.04.2025. 5. In that view of the matter, I am of the considered opinion that there is no infirmity or illegality in the Endorsement dated 07.05.2025 (Annexure-Q) issued by respondent No.4. Accordingly, the writ petition stands dismissed. SD/- (E.S.INDIRESH) JUDGE SB List No.: 1 Sl No.: 21
