Direction was given to the respondents to consider the petitioner's representation and pass an appropriate order. Contending that the direction has not been complied with, the contempt petition came to be filed. 2/5 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Cont.P.(MD)No.2179 of 2025 3. When the matter was taken for admission, the learned Special Government Pleader produced the records to show that S.No.92/10, Alloor 'B' Village has been classified as natham and that patta has been issued in favour of one Bhagavathiyappan S/o.Subramanian and that therefore, the question of treating the construction put up by him as encroachment does not arise at all. Even though no formal order has been passed, we are satisfied that this is not a case in which we continue to keep the contempt petition pending. 4. The contempt petition stands closed.
