It is admitted position that it is a private dispute between the two private raiyats but that has been sought to be resolved by using the executive power of a Minister which is otherwise not permissible.

The present notice also does not suggest initiation of any proceeding or any legal provision under which such notice has been issued. The said notice has not been even docketed. 5. Thus, the impugned notice is nothing but misuse of the power. 2026:JHHC:119 Page | 3 W.P. (C) No.1245 of 2021 6.
