E.Kamaraj v. The Commissioner

Order (Order of the Court was made by S.M.Subramaniam J.) Notice issued under Section 220 read with 222 of Chennai City Municipal Corporation Act, 1919, dated 22.11.2022, is under challenge in the present writ proceedings.

¶2A show cause notice issued would provide no cause for institution of writ proceedings. The authorities have issued notice calling upon the petitioners to remove the encroachments within fifteen days. Either the petitioners have to remove the same or in alternate, submit a representation along with documents, if any, to defend their case. However, no writ would lie. Thus, the petitioners are at liberty to submit their explanation, if any, to the respondents within a period of ten days from today. In the event of receipt of any representation, the same may be considered by the authorities and a final Page3 of 4 decision is to be taken for removal of encroachments, if any identified. The entire exercise is directed to be completed within a period of twelve weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

¶3Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs. Consequently, W.M.P.No.32615 of 2022 is closed and W.M.P.No.32614 of 2022 is ordered on payment of separate court fee. (S.M.S.,J.) (K.S.,J.) 13-03-2026 Index: Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order VSI To
