Respondents 1/6 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis W.P(MD)No.12263 of 2025 PRAYER : Writ Petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India praying for issuance of a Writ of Certiorari calling for the records of the third respondent in the impugned order dated 11.04.202 and quash the same. For Petitioner : Mr.P.Ganapathi Subramanian For RR 1 to 3 : Mrs.D.Farjana Ghousia Special Government Pleader ORDER (Order of the Court was made by J. NISHA BANU, J.) Challenging the eviction notice issued by the third respondent dated 11.04.2025, this Writ Petition has been filed. 2.According to the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner, on 11.11.2024, he received a notice from the Revenue Inspector, Pannapatti under Section 7 of the Tamil Nadu Land Encroachment Act, 1905 (in short hereinafter referred to as 'the Act, 1905'), for which, the petitioner submitted his reply on 18.11.2024 and requested the third respondent to furnish the details. 2/6 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis W.P(MD)No.12263 of 2025 3.The main grievance of the petitioner is that the third respondent, without furnishing the details sought for by the petitioner, has passed the impugned order dated 11.04.2025. Aggrieved against the same, the petitioner has preferred the present Writ Petition. 4.Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned Special Government Pleader appearing for the respondents 1 to3 and perused the materials available on record. 5.Upon perusal of the materials available on record, it is seen that as against the impugned eviction notice, an appellate remedy is provided under Section 10 of the Act, 1905, before the District Collector. When the Act provides for an effective appellate remedy against an eviction notice under Section 6, it would not be appropriate to entertain the present Writ Petition without the petitioner exhausting that remedy. 3/6 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis W.P(MD)No.12263 of 2025 6.In the light of the above, we are not inclined to entertain the Writ Petition. Accordingly, this Writ Petition is dismissed with liberty to the petitioner to file an appeal and a stay application before the first respondent, the District Collector, under Section 10 and 10-B of the Act, 1905. There shall be no order as to costs. Consequently, connected Miscellaneous Petition is closed.
