[Order of the Court was made by A.SELVAM, J.] This writ petition has been filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India praying to call for records relating to the notice dated 24.11.2011 issued by the third respondent to the petitioner and quash the same, by way of issuing a writ of certiorarified mandamus.

Further it is averred in the petition that in the place mentioned in the notice, more than ten shops are available and all the shop owners have encroached public road.

Under the said circumstances, the present writ petition has been filed for getting the relief sought therein.
