Perused the material on record including the application dated 15.05.2025 (Ex.P9) which is vague and lacking in material particulars. The petitioner is randomly seeking the information and he cannot expect any information on the basis of such application. Pointing out this aspect, the Court is about to dismiss the writ petition with costs, but the learned counsel sought permission to withdraw the same with liberty to approach the concerned authorities to secure the relevant information. In view of the same, the writ petition is dismissed. Needless to observe that the dismissal of the writ petition would not preclude the petitioner to make appropriate application before the concerned authority under the Right to Information Act and if the petitioner adopt such course of action, it is to the concerned authority to take necessary action on the same, strictly in accordance with the provisions of the Right to Information Act. No costs. Consequently, all pending applications shall stand dismissed. __________________________ JUSTICE NINALA JAYASURYA BLV Dt. 27.01.2026. 4 THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE NINALA JAYASURYA W.P.No.1206 of 2026 Date: 27.01.2026 BLV
