The 4th and 6th respondents in W.P(MD)No.7942 of 2020 have filed the present review application relating to the order dated 14.08.2020 passed by a Co-ordinate Division Bench. The said writ petition had been filed seeking a direction against the present petitioners by stating that they were in occupation of public lands in Survey No.341/2, North Ilanthaikulam Village, Kayathar Taluk, Thoothukudi District and seeking removal of such encroachment. It is contended by the learned counsel that the land in question is not public land, but the land belonging to a community. Even otherwise, it is contended that the review applicants had filed a suit in O.S.No.112 of 2020 before the Sub Court, Kovilpatti, seeking declaration of title and injunction. The review applicants have suffered a decree but have filed appeal. We would only clarify that the respondents may await the finality of the said litigation before taking any action adverse to the interest of the review applicants. 2/4 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis REV.APLC(MD)No.3 of 2021 2.
