On perusal of earlier order dated 31.10.2025 dismissing W.P. (MD) No.30778 of 2025, it is evident that the present Writ Petition relates to the same property. After extracting the relevant paragraphs of the impugned order, the following conclusion was recorded therein: “5. The above extracts reveal that the patta standing in the name of the petitioner and his family members was not disturbed with regard to lands classified as 'Ryotwari Punjai' whereas the patta has been cancelled with regard to lands classified as 'Arasu Poramboke' with the remark 'Kaipatrillathathu'. Parties have also been directed to approach the jurisdictional civil court in case of title disputes. I find no infirmity in the said order warranting interference under Article 226 of the Constitution.” 4. The above conclusion applies with equal force to the case of the petitioners. Therefore, this Writ Petition is dismissed without any order as to costs. W.M.P.(MD) No.25318 of 2025 is allowed. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed.
