Muthusamy. Nv v. The District Collector

O R D E R [Order of the Court was made by The Hon'ble CHIEF JUSTICE] We have heard Mr.M.Gnanagurunathan, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and Mr.P.Thilakkumar, learned Government Pleader appearing for the respondent Nos.1 to 5.

¶2The petitioner is challenging the No Objection Certificate issued by the respondent No.3 for sale of the subject property. The contention is that the subject property was assigned to the original assignees who are respondents 6 to 15 and the lock-in period was 20 years. Before the end of the lock-in period, the assignees have sold the subject property.

¶3The petitioner is not the affected party. The petitioner is a third party and he is not even remotely connected with the transaction in question. In view of that, we are not inclined to enter into the subject matter of the writ petition. If the terms of assignment are violated by the assignees, it is for the State authorities to consider the same. The petitioner has already made a representation to the authority. The authority shall consider the same on its own merits and in accordance with law.

¶4The Writ Petition, accordingly, stands disposed of. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed. [S.V.G., C.J.] [L.V.G., J.]
