Karuppaiah, S/O.Mahalingam (Died) v. The District Collector

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

¶2The petitioner was granted what is known as 2C patta. By the impugned order, it has been cancelled. 3 W.P.(MD)NO.15644 OF 2015 According to the third respondent, the trees are standing in a water-body. The petitioner states that the trees are not located in the water-body as such. This is a disputed question of fact.

¶3The writ Court cannot go into the said issue. The order is also appealable before the District Revenue Officer, Virudhunagar. The petitioner is also given liberty to challenge the impugned order before the District Revenue Officer, Virudhunagar. If within four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, an appeal is filed, the same shall be entertained without reference to limitation. Till the disposal of the appeal by the District Revenue Officer, the order impugned in the writ petition will be put on hold and it will not be enforced. I make it clear that I have not gone into the merits of the matter. This writ petition stands disposed of accordingly. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed.
