                     Prayer:        Writ Appeal filed under Clause 15 of the Letters Patent

                     against the order dated 27.11.2012 made in W.P.No.22232/2011 by a

                     learned Single Judge of this Court.


                                           For Appellant        : No appearance

                                           For respondents      : Mr.V.Manoharan,
                                           1, 2 and 4 to 6        Government Advocate


                                                       JUDGMENT

(Judgment of the Court was pronounced by T.RAJA.J)

This Writ Appeal has been filed challenging the correctness of the

order dated 27.11.2012 made in W.P.No.22232/2011 by a learned

Single Judge of this Court.

2.At the outset, it is pertinent to mention that the learned

Single Judge of this Court, while disposing of the batch of writ

petitions in W.P.Nos.1105 to 1109/2012 etc. batch dated

27.11.2012, has given six directions, one of which has been

impugned in this appeal. One of the directions shows that the

writ petitioners who are not in possession of the valid documents to

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis/

W.A.No.332 of 2013

prove their occupation, will be given thirty days time from the date of

that order or from the date of rejection of their claim, to vacate their

houses/huts/lands. Further, the ultimate direction shows that the

Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board was given direction to provide

alternative accommodation to the writ petitioners in any of the

tenements, either constructed in the adjacent land at Perumbakkam

Village or in any other residential projects subject to the production of

proof of their occupation. Aggrieved over the same, this present Writ

Appeal has been filed by the writ petitioner in

W.P.No.22232/2011/appellant herein.

3. A perusal of the Notes Paper would reveal that though the

Writ Appeal was listed before us for the past three hearings, namely,

29.07.2021, 30.07.2021 and even to-day i.e. on 02.08.2021, under

the caption, 'for dismissal', there was no representation on behalf of

the appellant on the three consecutive hearings.

4. At this stage, learned Government Advocate appearing for

the respondents 1, 2, 4 to 6 would submit that the appellant in this

Writ Appeal was given alternative accommodation. Therefore, he will

not pursue the matter and recording the same, the present Writ

Appeal may be disposed of.

W.A.No.332 of 2013

5. Recording the statement of the learned Government

Advocate appearing for the respondents 1, 2, 4 to 6, the present Writ

Appeal is dismissed as infructuous as nothing survives for further

adjudication. No costs. Consequently, connected Miscellaneous

Petition is also closed.
