The petitioner owned land comprised in Ayan Punja survey No.241/1 to an extent of 1.85 acres and Ayan Punja survey No.242/2 to an extent of 1.07 acres, in total 2.92 acres situated at Udaiyanachi Village, Kallakurichi. The said land was acquired for the purpose of welfare of adidravidar and tribal people of Kallakurichi District. After acquisition, the subject lands were assigned to 86 beneficiaries. The only ground raised by the petitioner is that out of 86 allottees, 71 individuals did not construct their respective houses as per the assignment patta. Therefore, the petitioner submitted representation to restore the land in his favour. Admittedly, the subject land was assigned in favour of 86 beneficiaries. If at all any beneficiary has failed to construct a house and failed to comply any of the conditions, the authorities may cancel their assignment and allot in favour of other beneficiaries. Therefore, the petitioner cannot seek for restoration of the said land from the acquisition proceedings. 3/6 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis W.P.No.23095 of 2025 3. In view of the above discussion, the representation submitted by the petitioner seeking cancellation of allotment and issuance of patta to the beneficiaries cannot be considered. As such, this writ petition is devoid of merits and the same is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, this writ petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. 22.10.2025 Neutral citation: Yes/No (2/2) Index: Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order lok 4/6 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis W.P.No.23095 of 2025 To 1.THE DISTRICT COLLECTOR, KALLAKURICHI DISTRICT, KALLAKURICHI 2.THE SPECIAL TAHSILDAR, (ADW) KALLAKURICHI DISTRICT, KALLAKURICHI. 3.THE DISTRICT ADI DRAVIDAR AND TRIBAL WELFARE OFFICER, KALLAKURICHI DISTRICT, KALLAKURICHI. 4.THE DISTRICT REGISTRAR, NO.57/4, KOPURAM COMPLEX, KATCHARI SALAI, KALLAKURICHI 606 202, KALLAKURICHI DISTRICT 5/6 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis W.P.No.23095 of 2025 G.K.ILANTHIRAIYAN, J. lok W.P.No.23095 of 2025 22.10.2025 (2/2) 6/6 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis
