For Petitioner : Mr.S.Karthik 1/5 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis W.P.(MD)No.29562 of 2025 For Respondent : Mr.S.Deenadhayalan Standing Counsel ORDER The petitioner seeks a mandamus to the respondents to remove the transformer alleged to have been put up in the petitioner's land in SF.No. 347/2B2 Puliyampatti Village, Palani Taluk, Dindigul District, based on the petitioner's representation dated 08.08.2025. 2. Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and Mr.S.Deenadhayalan, learned Standing Counsel, who takes notice for the respondents. By consent, this writ petition is taken up for final disposal at the admission stage itself. 3. The petitioner's contention is that the transformer has been installed in his lands without any notice to him and despite his objections, the respondents have proceedd to erect the same. Therefore, the writ petition. 4. The learned Standing Counsel would submit that the said transformer has been installed as early as in the year 2001. 2/5 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis W.P.(MD)No.29562 of 2025 5. The petitioner has approached this Court with unclean hands. Nowhere in the affidavit has the petitioner mentioned the date on which the transformer has been erected in his land. This omission amounts to deliberate supression of material facts. From the statement of the learned counsel for the respondents, it is seen that the transformer has been erected as early as in the year 2001. The petitioner having kept quiet all these years has suddenly woken up only in the year 2025. Therefore, the contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner has come to know about the erection of transformer in his land only now, cannot be accepted. Therefore, the present writ petition, having been filed after a lapse of 24 years from the date of erection of the transformer, is not maintainable and cannot be entertained. Accordingly, the Writ Petition stands dismissed. It is open to the petitioner to work out his remedy in the manner known to law.
