M.Subbulakshmi v. The Special Deputy Collector Cum Chairman,

ORDER This Writ Petition has been filed seeking for a direction to the 1st respondent to conduct an enquiry on his representation dated 05.06.2025 and take appropriate action against the respondents 5 to 13 for creating fraudulent document to grab the Pathway situated in Ward-3, Block-10, T.S.No.1072/1, 1074/2 and 1074/3, Perumalpatti Thropathiamman Kovil Street, Srivilliputhur, Virudhunagar District, in the light of G.O.(Nilai) No.119, Home (Police-II) Department dated 16.03.2023 as well as based on his representation dated

06.01.2025.

¶2The Writ Petition is disposed of at the time of admission after dispensing with the notice of the respondents 5 to 13 as there is no adverse order proposed to be passed against them at this stage.

¶3It appears that the petitioner had earlier approached this Court in W.P.

(MD) No.4802 of 2025. The Division Bench, by its order dated 21.02.2025, directed the respondent therein, namely, the first respondent, to consider the petitioner's representation dated 06.01.2025. The 5th respondent was the 3rd respondent in the said petition. The grievance of the petitioner is that, during the pendency of the enquiry before the 1st respondent, the 5th respondent has annexed a public pathway purportedly based on a sale deed executed on

04.04.2025, registered as Document No.2409 of 2025, executed between the 5th respondent and the other private respondents and that they have invited the proceedings under G.O.(Nilai) No.119, Home (Police-II) Department, dated

16.03.2023.

¶4The learned counsel for the first and third respondents submits that although the petitioner has given a representation dated 05.06.2025, there are no documents to substantiate that the 5th respondent has encroached upon the private land so as to attract the above Government Order. Only if there is grabbing of private land, can the aforesaid proceedings be initiated by the aggrieved party.

¶5Having considered the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the official respondents 1 to 4, after dispensing with notice to the private respondents, I am inclined to dispose of this Writ Petition at the time of admission by directing the first respondent to consider the petitioner's representation dated 05.06.2025 on merits in accordance with law and take appropriate action, if warranted in accordance with law. Needless to state, the private respondents shall be heard before the final orders are passed.

¶6This Writ Petition is disposed of with the above direction. No costs.
