Respondents PRAYER: Writ Petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India for issuance of Writ of Certiorari to call for the records pertaining to the impugned order passed by the first respondent made in Na.Ka.No.3264/17/SaPa.1 dated 22.12.2017 and quash the same, For petitioner : Mr. P.R.Prithiviraj For respondents : Mr.K.R.Badurus Zaman Government Advocate for R1 & R2 No appearance for R3 Mr.P.Mahendran for R4 ***** ORDER This Writ Petition is disposed of at the time of admission with the consent of the learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Government Advocate for the respondents 1 and 2 and learned counsel for the fourth respondent. 2. The petitioner, who is the President of the Kumbakonam Division III & 2/9 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis W.P.(MD) No. 2071 of 2018 IV Employees & Public Service Co-operative Housing Society, is before this Court against the impugned order, dated 22.12.2017. 3. By the impugned order, the first respondent has directed the petitioner/society to allot Plot No.20 to the fourth respondent. It appears that the fourth respondent had earlier been allotted Plot No.37 by the petitioner. The said plot was irregular and corner plot and hence, the fourth respondent decided to approach the second respondent with the request to allot alternative plot. 4. By an order dated 23.11.2015, the second respondent directed the petitioner/society to allot one of the plots among Plot Nos.16, 17, 19, 20 and 152. However, no plot was allotted to the fourth respondent. Under these circumstances, Plot No.17 was allotted to the fourth respondent pursuant to the Revision Petition filed by the fourth respondent under Section 154 of the Tamil Nadu Co-operative Societies Act, 1983. Since the Plot No.17 was not allotted to the fourth respondent, he has, once again, approached the first respondent. The first respondent, thus, ordered to allot Plot No.20 to the fourth respondent. Relevant portion of the impugned order reads as under: 3/9 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis W.P.(MD) No. 2071 of 2018 “jPu;g;Giu kDjhuu;> vjpu;kDjhuu; MfpNahu; jhf;fy; nra;j Mtzq;fis ed;F Muha;e;j fPo;f;fz;lthW jPu;g;gspf;fg;gLfpwJ. 1.$l;LwTr; rq;fq;fspd; gjpthsu; (tPl;Ltrjp) mtu;fs; kDjhuu; jpU Nfhtpe;juh[d; jhf;fy; nra;j rPuha;T kDtpd; jPu;g;gpy; (e.f.vz; 2441/2016/rg1> ehs; 22.02.2017) kDjhuUf;F kid vz;.17I xJf;fPL nra;J Mizapl;lhu;.
