Chellapappu M v. The District Collector

O R D E R ********** (Order of the Court was made by S.VAIDYANATHAN, J.) The petitioner has come forward with this writ petition seeking for issuance of a Writ of Mandamus, directing the respondents 1 to 4, to remove the encroachment such as pillar stone put up by the respondents 5 to 7 in Survey No.198, Common Pathway with public lane situated at Ladanendal Village, Thirupuvanam Taluk, Sivagangai District, on the basis of the petitioner's representation, dated 13.02.2022, within a stipulated time.

¶2When the matter is taken up for hearing today, the learned Government Pleader appearing for the respondents would submit that survey has been conducted and the Revenue Tahsildar, Lalgudi, has also submitted a report stating that there is no encroachment. A copy of the A-Register has also been produced to show that the property in Survey No.198 of Ladanendal Village, Thirupuvanam Taluk, Sivagangai District, is a Sarkar Poramboke and there is no encroachment.

¶3Recording the said submission, the plea of the petitioner is rejected. Therefore, the writ petition stands dismissed. However, a perusal of the photographs produced would show that debris/construction materials have been placed partially on the road causing hindrance to the pedestrians and motorists. We expect the authorities to inform the owner of the building to remove the materials forthwith without causing hindrance for road traffic. No Costs.
