                                                          JUDGMENT

(Judgment of this Court was made by M.DURAISWAMY,J.)

Challenging the order passed in W.P.(MD)No.10937 of 2021, the fourth

respondent in the writ petition has filed the above Writ Appeal.

2. The writ petitioner filed the writ petition for the issuance of a Writ of

Mandamus, directing the respondents 1 and 2 to consider the petitioner's

application dated 07.06.2021, requesting the respondents 1 and 2 to

demarcate the measured land in Survey No.197/4A2 with the help of the third

respondent/police, within a time frame.

3. The learned Single Judge, taking into consideration the case of both

parties, disposed of the writ petition, directing the respondents 1 and 2 in the

writ petition, to act upon the application submitted by the writ petitioner and

fix the date for the survey of the subject property. Further, the learned Single

Judge directed the authority to issue notice to the fourth respondent in the

writ petition, who is the appellant herein. Further, it has been ordered that

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

W.A.(MD)No.1512 of 2021

the survey shall be conducted based on the title documents of the parties.

The learned Single Judge also observed that thereafter, the official

respondents shall fix the boundaries and demarcate the property and if there

is any resistance on the part of the appellant, it is left open to the offical

respondents to take the help of the Police.

4. Challenging this order, the fourth respondent in the writ petition has

filed the above writ appeal.

5. On a reading of the order passed by the learned Single Judge, it is

clear that the learned Single Judge has directed the official respondents to

issue notice to the appellant and also give liberty to the parties to produce the

title documents and further directed the official respondents to fix the

boundaries and demarcate the property, after considering the title documents.

Therefore, we are of the considered view that the appellant shall not be

prejudiced in any manner by the order passed in the writ petition.

6. The learned Counsel for the appellant submitted that pursuant to the

order passed in the writ petition, the official respondent issued notice, dated

12.07.2021, calling upon him to appear for enquiry on 20.07.2021, but, the

official respondent refused to receive the title documents from him. However,

the appellant has not produced any proof for the production of the title

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

W.A.(MD)No.1512 of 2021

documents before the official respondent on 20.07.2021. That apart, the said

ground has not been raised as a ground in the writ appeal. Therefore, the

submission made by the learned Counsel for the appellant cannot be

accepted.

7. For the reasons stated above, we do not find any reason to interfere

with the order passed in the writ petition. Accordingly, the Writ Appeal is

dismissed. No costs. Consequently, the connected Miscellaneous Petition is

also dismised. It is needless to say that the official respondent shall fix the

boundaries and demarcate the property, only after considering the title

documents of the parties, as ordered by the learned Single Judge in W.P.

(MD)No.10937 of 2021, dated 02.07.2021.

8. The learned Counsel for the appellant submitted that the appellant

would produce all the documents immediately on reeipt of the notice from the

official respondent.
