For Petitioner : Mr.G.Mageshkumar For Respondents : Mr D.Ravichander __________ https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis WP No. 34211 of 2025 Special Government Pleader ORDER (Order of the Court was made by R.Suresh Kumar J.) The petitioner wants a protective order from dispossessing her from S.No.31/1, Lakshminarayanapuram Village, Madurantakam Taluk, Chengalpattu District. 2. The said land, according to the official respondents is a Government land and also a public way. Since the same is allegedly encroached by the petitioner, a third party had already approached this Court and filed a writ petition in W.P.No.14478 of 2025 seeking eviction of the writ petitioner, who was shown as fourth respondent in the said writ petition. 3. Earlier Division Bench, by order dated 24.04.2025 while disposing the said writ petition, among other things has given the following directions. " 10. This Court directs the jurisdictional Divisional Monitoring Committee to examine if there is encroachment qua said land. The Divisional Monitoring Committee shall also ensure that adequate and ample opportunity is given to persons concerned, more particularly alleged encroacher (R4) before taking a call. In this regard, we are acutely conscious that the matter is being disposed of in Admission Board without notice to alleged encroacher and therefore, this safety valve is put in place. To be noted, all the rights and contentions of alleged encroacher are preserved for being raised before the Committee concerned which shall consider the same on their own merits and in accordance with law untrammelled by this proceedings in this Court." __________ https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis WP No. 34211 of 2025 4. It is the stand of the learned Special Government Pleader appearing for the official respondents that, pursuant to the said directions given by the earlier Division Bench, the Revenue authorities are contemplating to identify the encroachment allegedly made by the petitioner and if at all it is an encroachment, certainly action would be taken against him by invoking Act 3 of 1905. When that being so, it is the mere apprehension of the petitioner that the authorities will dispossess the petitioner abruptly without following any procedure, which will certainly prejudice him and therefore on that premise the petitioner has approached this Court by filing the present writ petition. 6. In view of the aforesaid stand taken by the learned Special Government Pleader appearing for the official respondents that the order passed by the earlier Division Bench dated 24.04.2025 in W.P.No.14478 of 2025 would be strictly followed and acted upon, such an apprehension / grievance in the mind of the petitioner may not necessarily be given credence. 7. In that view of the matter, by recording the aforesaid stand taken by the learned Special Government Pleader appearing for the official respondents, this writ petition is disposed of with a further observation that the orders of the earlier Division Bench made in W.P.No.14478 of 2025 shall be strictly complied with. The __________ https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis WP No. 34211 of 2025 writ petition is disposed of accordingly. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed. (R.S.K.,J.)
