ORDER (Order of the Court was made by C.V.Karthikeyan J.) There is no representation on behalf of the Review Applicant. Even on an earlier occasion on 24.07.2026, there was no representation for the Review Applicant.

2.The Review Application has been filed by the 6th respondent in W.P.

(MD)No.6764 of 2019, which was disposed of by order, dated 16.06.2021.

In the order in the Writ Petition, it had been observed that the Review Applicant had put up a prayer house under Christian Congregation of Pentecost in the said land without obtaining any permission either to construct the building or to convert the same into a place of worship as required under the provisions of the Tamil Nadu District Municipal Page3 of 5 Municipalities Buildings Rules, 1972 or under the Tamil Nadu District Municipalities Act, 1990.

3.A direction was given that no other members except the Review Applicant and his family members could conduct prayer. This direction was pursuant to an undertaking given by the Review Applicant himself. Questioning that particular direction given, the Review Application has been filed.
