R.Elavarasan, v. Dr.S.Aneesh Sekhar, I.A.S.,

ORDER (Order of the Court was made by R.SUBRAMANIAN, J.) The Advocate Commissioner appointed has filed a report stating that the encroachments in Survey Nos.323/1A, 323/1B2, 323/1B1B1B1, 323/2A1A1, 323/2B have been removed.

¶2The order, according to the Tahsildar, was complied in its letter and spirit. Since this fact was disputed by the learned counsel for the petitioner, we had appointed Mr.P.Kiran Prakash, an Advocate practicing in this Bench as a Commissioner to visit the area in question and file a report. The Advocate Commissioner has filed a report stating that the encroachments in those survey numbers have, in fact, been removed, but the Commissioner has also pointed out that such removal alone will not be helpful to the petitioner as his land is landlocked with patta lands and removal of the encroachment in those survey numbers would not serve the purpose or provide passage to the petitioner to his house. Hence, we see no reason to proceed with the contempt petition.

¶3The Contempt Petition is therefore closed. (R.SUBRAMANIAN, J.) & (L.VICTORIA GOWRI, J.)
