The present writ petition has been filed seeking for an appropriate direction to Respondent No. 2 to decide the representation dated 13. 8.
2020 (Annexure P-1) filed by the Petitioner. 2. A plain reading of Annexure P-1 would show that it is nothing but an information sought from the office of the District Collector, Raigarh district. It is not in respect of any decision which the Respondents are to take. 3. This Court is of the opinion that for the said relief the present writ petition is not maintainable. If the Petitioner wants certain information from the office of the District Collector, Raigarh, which he has not been otherwise provided, he has every right to approach the authority under the provisions of the Right to Information Act and obtain the same. Writ jurisdiction cannot be converted or extended for getting informations not being provided by the State authorities. 4. Reserving the right of the Petitioner to approach the authorities under the provisions of the Right to Information Act, the present writ petition at this juncture is disposed of. 5. Writ Petition accordingly stands disposed of. Sd/- (P.
