Per contra, Applicant states that subject property is not covered under Scheme Decree. It is seen that Applicant has already instituted Civil Suit and plaint was rejected. Appeal came to be filed against rejection of plaint. Therefore, it is for the Applicant to establish her title and ownership in respect of the subject property. As of now, the property vests with AG & OT under Scheme Decree. Therefore, the present Application cannot be entertained. Disputed facts relating to title or ownership cannot be adjudicated in this application and it is to be decided only by competent Court in the manner known to law. With the above observations, the Application stands dismissed. 10-07-2026 Index: Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order Neutral Citation: Yes/No AR To: The Administrator General and Official Trustee of Tamil Nadu, Madras High Court Campus, George Town, Chennai 600 104. https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis A.No.3340 of 2022 __________ Page4 of 4 S.M.SUBRAMANIAM,J.
