JUDGMENT
M. DHANDAPANI, J.
This intra Court appeal has been preferred, calling in question, the legality and validity of the order dated 14.12.2011 passed by a learned Single Judge in W.P. No.35366 of 2006.
2 The appellant filed a writ petition being W.P. No.35366 of 2006 seeking a mandamus forbearing the respondent from interfering with her peaceful possession and enjoyment of the property bearing Door No.248, Surya Narayana Chetty Street, Royapuram, Chennai 600 013.
3 Though the learned Single Judge, found prima facie that the appellant does not have any title over the property and as such, she cannot claim any vested right to continue in possession of the Government land, yet, considering the fact that the petitioner has been in possession of the land for several years, direction was given to the respondent not to evict her without issuing notice and affording an opportunity of personal hearing. The relevant portion of the said order reads thus:
"6. However, taking note of the fact that the petitioner has been in possession of the land for several years, the respondents shall not evict the petitioner without issuing notice to her and affording an opportunity of personal hearing to the petitioner. The writ petition is disposed of with the above direction. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed."
4 Thus, inasmuch as the appellant's interest is well protected by the order passed by the learned Singe Judge, as per which, the appellant cannot be evicted without issuance of a notice and without granting an opportunity of personal hearing, we are of the considered opinion that the order warrants no interference.
Resultantly, this intra Court appeal fails and is accordingly dismissed.
No costs.
