Respondent(s) https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CRP No. 1870 of 2026 PRAYER Civil Revision Petition filed under Article 227 of Constitution of India, prays to set aside the Fair and Decretal order dated 15.12.2025 in IA No.8 of 2025 in OS No.799 of 2022 on the file of V Assistant Judge, City Civil Court, Chennai. For Petitioner(s): MR. K.Moorthy For Respondent(s): ORDER Challenging the impugned order passed by the trial Judge in I.A. No. 8 of 2025 in OS No.799 of 2022 on the file of V Assistant City Civil Court, Chennai, the second defendant has preferred this Civil Revision Petition. 2. The learned counsel for the revision petitioner submitted that the petitioner has filed an application before the trial Court seeking rejection of the plaint. He also contended that the suit property still belongs to the Slum Clearance Board and that no sale deed was executed in favour of Mrs. Arokya Mary or her legal heirs. He further contended that the suit is barred under Sections 65, 29(1)(a) & (b) and 67 of the Tamil Nadu Slum Areas (Improvement and Clearance) Act and that the Civil Court lacks jurisdiction. 3. The trial Court, upon considering the records, found that Arokya Mary had paid the entire dues to the Board and obtained a No Objection Certificate from the TNSCB for obtaining Water, Sewerage and Electricity connection and for construction of building and utility connections. She constructed the house https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CRP No. 1870 of 2026 and was allotted the property as early as in 1989. Hence, she became the absolute owner of the property. 4. The present suit is one for permanent injunction, and therefore, the grounds raised for rejection of the plaint are not sustainable. The order of the trial Court requires no interference. 5. However, liberty is granted to the parties to implead the Slum Clearance Board as a party, if necessary. Both parties are directed to proceed with the trial. Accordingly, the Civil Revision Petition is dismissed. Consequently, the connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
