WA.No.3239 of 2024 JUDGMENT (Judgment of the Court was made by S.M.SUBRAMANIAM, J.) Under assail is the order dated 24.04.2024 passed in W.P.No.11123 of
2024. 2. The first respondent / Mr.K.M.Jainulabdeen filed a writ of mandamus to direct the respondent therein to dispose of the petitioner's representation dated 10.07.2023, seeking to survey the property situated at Panaiyur Village, Cheyyur Taluk, Chengalpattu District in Survey No.182/1B1 admeasuring to an extent of 13.50 ares and property in Survey No.182/1B2 admeasuring to an extent of 69.00 ares comprised in patta no.237. 3. Admittedly, the subject property is a private property. Land dispute exist between the appellant and the first respondent. The first respondent instead of resolving the issues through competent civil Court of law, filed a writ petition seeking a simple direction to dispose of the representation.

WA.No.3239 of 2024
4. Direction to dispose of the representation relating to civil disputes would do no service to the cause of justice. The litigants will be back again and therefore, High Court need not encourage such writ petitions filed seeking a direction to dispose of the representation, when the grievances are relating to civil rights. 5. It is brought to the notice of this Court that the first respondent once again filed Crl.OP.No.18500 of 2024, seeking police protection which was dismissed by this Court on the ground that Patta stood in the name of the first respondent was canceled. 6. All the more, it reveals that the issues between the appellant and the first respondent are of civil nature and the writ Court cannot adjudicate the disputed facts. Thus the parties are relegated to approach the competent civil Court for the purpose of resolving the disputes and to crystallize their civil rights. 7.
In view of the above observations, the impugned writ order in W.P.No.11123 of 2024 dated 24.04.2024 is set aside and the Writ Appeal https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis
