The Court, while considering the writ petitions said that the petitioners ought to have brought their grievances to the notice of the \u00a0public bodies concerned themselves to take action according to law and pass appropriate reasoned orders.\u00a0Also, noting that two of such appeals were pending before the competent Tribunal, the Court ruled that it would lead to undesirable scattering of litigation. An all-sweeping kind of petition under Article 226 should not be used by the parties unless the public bodies have dealt with their grievances and the appellate mechanism provided under the relevant statutes has been fully exhausted. Therefore, these type of writ petitions are not maintainable. [V. Dhamodaran v.
