4. The petitioner claims to be in possession and enjoyment of the property of an extent of 4441 Sq.Ft. Alleging that the petitioner has encroached upon government land, the respondent/authorities issued notice directing her eviction. It is stated that the petitioner has filed a suit before the the District Munsif Court, Poonamallee in O.S.No.205 of 2014 seeking declaration, but the same was dismissed. Assailing the same, the petitioner filed an appeal in A.S.No.40 of 2015 and the same is pending before the Sub Court, Poonamallee. In such circumstances, the present writ petition is filed to forbear the respondent/authorities from taking any action pending disposal of the appeal suit.
5. In short the petitioner is seeking extended stay in the said premises pending the appeal suit, which, in our considered opinion, cannot be permitted. The respondent/authorities have found that the petitioner is an encroacher, while the same is disputed by the petitioner. It is not for this court to go into such disputed facts. It is for the petitioner to file suitable application before the Sub Court, Poonamallee, seeking interim relief, if so advised.
The writ petition is dismissed. No costs. Consequently, W.M.P.No.5478 of 2017 is closed.
