The materials on record also show that certain steps were taken by the Directorate of Tribal Affairs, Nagaland, Kohima with the District Commissioner, Mokokchung, Nagaland thereby seeking various documents.

The communication dated 08.02.2024 is impugned in the present proceedings on the ground that the said decision was not as per the guidelines inasmuch as the change of the relocation was made without the approval of the Executive Committee in the State which was a fundamental requirement in terms of Clause 8(a) of the guidelines. Subsequent thereto, the State Level Executive Committee in its meeting held on 22.03.2024 recommended the relocation of the Multistoried Building form Mongsenyimti to Chapka Village.

It is seen that pursuant to filing of the instant writ petition, this Court vide a detailed order dated 27.09.2024 issued notice, however did not pass any interim order in favour of the petitioner. 11. The record further reveals that the Chakpa Village Council who would now be the beneficiary in terms with the impugned communication dated 08.02.2024 filed an application seeking impleadment to the instant proceedings. Vide an order dated 21.10.2024 the Chakpa Village Council was impleaded as the respondent No. 4.

Mokokchung, no effective work order have been issued either to the petitioner or to the newly located Chapka Village till date. It was also mentioned that the relocation of the Multipurpose building from NH-2 Mongsenyimti to Chakpa Village under the Mokokchung District also falls within the same administrative block and moreover, in order to provide a platform for collective growth and development, the proposal for relocation was made to bridge the gap in core sector development. The respondent Nos. 2 and 3 had brought on record the No Objection Certificate issued by Mongsenyimti Village Council dated 05.07.2024 wherein it was mentioned that the construction of the Multipurpose Hall at Mongsenyimti compound under Mokokchung funded by the Ministry of Tribal Affairs, Government of India covered under a scheme of Article 275(1) had been only completed with no objection on the said property.

Further to that, the land which was identified in the Chakpa village was brought on record. 15. This Court further takes note of the affidavit-in-opposition filed by the respondent No. 4 wherein similar stand was taken to what the respondent Nos. 2 and 3 have taken. Further to that, the land which was identified in the Chakpa village was brought on record. 15. This Court further takes note of the affidavit-in-opposition filed by the respondent No. 4 wherein similar stand was taken to what the respondent Nos. 2 and 3 have taken. In addition to that it was brought to the notice of this Court Annexure-D to the said affidavit-in-opposition that Annexure-K to the writ petition was never issued by the Mongsenyimti Village Council. 16. The petitioner filed affidavit-in-reply reiterating his stand made in the writ petition. 17. In the backdrop of the above pleadings, this Court had duly heard the learned counsels appearing on behalf of the parties and given its anxious consideration to their respective submissions. 18. At the outset, it is relevant to take note of that the jurisdiction of this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution is very limited in matters of the present nature inasmuch as the jurisdiction is confined to the decision making process of the Respondent Authorities. In the instant case, it would be seen that on 05.07.2024, the Multipurpose Building at Mongsenyimti Village was completed. The materials on record further show that in the Chakpa village there is no Multipurpose Building. The Chief Minister of Nagaland taking into account the various aspects which have been duly mentioned in his communication dated 12.10.2023 had requested the Minister of Tribal Affairs, Government of India to relocate the construction of the Multipurpose building from NH Monsenyimti to Chakpa Village. It is also seen that the respondent No. 1 i.e. the Ministry of Tribal Affairs had duly taken note of the requests so made by the Chief Minister, Government of Nagaland and on the basis of such request have issued a communication on 08.02.2024 whereby the relocation of the construction of Multipurpose building from NH Mongsenyimti to Chakpa Village under Mokokchung District have been approved subject to certain conditions. 19. It is further seen from the impugned order dated 08.02.2024 that one of the conditions is that there is a requirement of the decision of the SLEC to be placed before the Ministry of Tribal Affairs, Government of India. The SLEC of the Government of Nagaland have thereupon submitted the Minutes of the meeting giving reasons as to why the relocation was necessary from NH Mongsenyimti to Chakpa Village under Mokokchung District. The SLEC of the Government of Nagaland have thereupon submitted the Minutes of the meeting giving reasons as to why the relocation was necessary from NH Mongsenyimti to Chakpa Village under Mokokchung District. This aspect has been duly taken note of by the Ministry of Tribal Affairs, Government of India and on the basis thereof, have issued the communication dated 18.10.2024 whereby formally the relocation have been permitted by issuance of an order. It is also seen that from the very communication dated 18.10.2024 that the funds have already been released to the State during 2023-24 and therefore the question of release of additional funds does not arise. 20. This Court having taken into account the materials on record and also the submission so made by the learned counsels appearing on the behalf of the parties do not find the present case to be a fit case for exercise of the powers of judicial review, taking into account that it is absolutely within the domain of the Executive to decide on the location where the construction of the Multipurpose Building would be best suited. Additionally, the petitioner had completely failed to make out a case of violation of any constitutional provision. 21. In view of the above, this Court does not find any merit in the instant writ petition, for which, the instant writ petition stands dismissed.
