[Order of the Court was made by M.SATHYANARAYANAN, J.] By consent, the writ petition is taken up for final disposal. Mr.P.Sanjay Gandhi, learned Additional Government Pleader accepts notice on behalf of the respondents 1 to 4.
2 The petitioner claims to be owner of 2040 sq.ft., of land at Aranvoyal Grama Natham Survey No.251/1B through a registered Sale Deed dated 10.10.2002 bearing Document No.1619/2002 on the file of the Sub Registrar, Manavala Nagar. The grievance expressed by the petitioner is that the respondents 5 and 6 had encroached upon the 30 feet public road and started putting up construction, thereby reducing the width of the said road and as a consequence, the petitioner and others who are having access to their properties through the said road, are affected and despite very many personal representations, the official respondents did not take any action and therefore, a legal notice dated 17.03.2015 was sent to the respondents 1 and 3 and to the jurisdictional Village Administrative Officer, followed by representations dated 07.06.2017 and 17.08.2017 respectively and in spite of receipt and acknowledgment, no action has been taken and hence, came forward to file the present writ petition.
3 Heard the submissions of Mr.R.Dhanram, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr.P.Sanjay Gandhi, learned Additional Government Pleader, appearing for the respondents 1 to 4.
4 Though the petitioner prays for a larger relief, this Court, in the light of the above facts and circumstances and without going into the merits of the claim projected by the petitioner, directs the respondents 2 to 4 to put the petitioner as well as the respondents 5 and 6 on notice, cause inspection of the alleged offending construction being put up and whether it has encroached upon the public road and further that whether the construction is an authorised one and thereafter, take action in accordance with law by considering the petitioner's representations dated 07.06.2017 and 17.08.2017 respectively and pass appropriate orders within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and communicate the decision taken, to the petitioner as well as to the respondents 5 and 6.
5 The writ petition stands disposed of with the above direction. No costs. Consequently, the connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
