Renga Konar v. The Block Development Officer

O R D E R Heard the learned counsel on either side.

¶2The petitioner challenges the impugned eviction notice issued by the jurisdictional Block Development Officer. The notice reads that encroachment has been committed in survey No.230.

¶3We are satisfied based on the materials available on record that survey No.230 is a water-body(Pappankulam). The petitioner has planted paddy. He states that it may take four more months to harvest the same. The petitioner gives an undertaking before this Court through his counsel that at the end of four months period, he will completely vacate the land 3 W.P.(MD)NO.5081 OF 2023 comprised in survey No.230 Salaikalam Village. Since such an undertaking has been given, we are inclined to keep the impugned notice on hold till then. If at the end of four months period, the petitioner does not comply with the order passed by this Court, the respondents may take further action against the petitioner without reference to this Court or without issuance of any further notice to the petitioner.

¶4This writ petition stands disposed of accordingly. No costs. Consequently, connected MP. is closed. (G.R.SWAMINATHAN, J.) & (B.PUGALENDHI, J.) 19th JUNE 2023
