It is further case of the petitioner that during rainy season, the water flows into the petitioner’s land and thereby, causes crop loss to the petitioner and therefore, the petitioner has sent a representation to the fourth respondent to take steps for protecting the petitioner’s agriculture land. 5. It is further case of the petitioner that the third respondent has developed water pond bunds under the scheme of the Chief Minister’s Rural Road Development Scheme and that by mistake, they have reduced the level in the opposite side of the petitioner’s land. Therefore, the water passes through the petitioner’s land. 3/6 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis W.P.(MD) No. 18158 of 2025 6. Therefore, the petitioner had earlier approached this Court in W.P.
